GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...

[Windcatcher]

Maybe they're messing with the Dems' minds...parliamentary trickery...

[Loyal Buckeye]

The two Republicans who voted YEA spent too much time at the House bar; they have now recast their votes to NAY.

[ilovew]

That's what I'm wondering.

[cwb]

All the GOP yeahs are gone. Did they withdraw their votes.

[Howlin]

I hate it when people say stuff like that; just hate it.

[prouddvldog]

Ya know the dems might come back and say that the yea and nah buttons were to close and meant to vote yea

[rightinthemiddle]

Looks like NO Pubbie Aye votes now.

[blogblogginaway]

The one republican 'yea vot'e has been taken off the tally on c-span

[MinuteGal]

I know he was the lone vote....what I meant was.....what's his schtick?

Any history on this guy to explain his lunacy? Is he in a liberal district and up for re-election.....or is there some other reason? Someone here must know.

3 votes against, all democrats. No republicans for this now.

[GOPPachyderm]

Weird, there were two republican yea votes, and now there are none.

[Soul Seeker]

Hmm...so, Kos....DU...Cindy...

Ever get the feeling the Dems were just using you for campaign cash?

[eddie willers]

Linder is from Georgia. Good, solid conservative. He's not an anti-war, anti-troops freakazoid. Someone mentioned that the one Republican might have been designated by the party because of some House rule about bringing the resolution up for a vote again, but I don't understand how that works.

You have to be correct because Linder is NO RINO.....he's my congressman and he's SOLID!

[doug from upland]

It was never designed to pass. It was to back the DemocRATS into a corner. Their anti-war base is going to be quite angry with them.

[FreeAtlanta]

Linder must have goofed. The yes vote is gone now. I hate to say it, but he seems a little dumb. They had to get his attention to vote for the resolution earlier tonight.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thanks for the graphic....I'm sending onto a relative serving in the Army.

[sageb1]

So, what will be the Dems next move?

[RobFromGa]

LInder was likely confused, numbers and things confuse him easily.

[Purrcival]

Well, Charlie Rangel introduced some bill to bring back the draft, and then he voted against it, so I don't think so. I don't understand why Linder voted for this resolution. It is a non-binding resolution, BTW, not a bill.

Just went back to zero Republican "Yeas."
