WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The war vote in the early morning hours Friday was, to Sen. Mark Dayton, like an unwelcome true-or-false test where neither choice was correct.

"It's not one way or the other," Dayton said later, after only an hour's sleep. "It's more nuanced."

Shame on you, Senator, Shame I say.

I am still waiting for an article about a senator who voted yes who cast "a vote of conscience"

[muawiyah]

My feelings are not so subtle and nuanced. A foreign enemy attacked us. That enemy has connections with Iraq. Currently that foreign enemy, or Iraq, has a sniper team on the loose in my neighborhood killing my friends, relatives and work associates.

A vote against the President's Resolution is a vote for the sniper team, for Saddam, for AlQaida.

This Senator should haul his A$$ back to Minnesota and start hiding in a deep hole. He is not welcome in the Washington DC area. Long overdue for "W" to round 'em up and send them back!

But until about three hours before he raised his hand and cast his vote, he wasn't absolutely sure what he would do.

This is bull-shi'ite! I knew exactly how he'd vote three weeks before he voted no.

And look at the source, it's funny to see the name at the top of this article in red; Star Tribune, the most extreme left-wing Red-Chinese paper in the country!

Daytons a nut job, just like his lyin buddy Wellstone. Imagine how he'd make his buddy look if he voted yes, when he knew Wellstone would vote no.

Aw, don't worry, Marky-boy has "one-termer" stamped all over him. He could barely prevail with all his $$ against Rod Grams, and he doesn't have Paulie Wellstone's "personality", to boot... The GOP keeps building a better and better farm-team in MN by the day.
