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

[Howlin]

Wait till he can snag one that has the final count!

" "We'll let the members debate it and then let them vote on it," said Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the acting majority leader."

Big hats off to Roy Blunt!!!

[golas1964]

Shiny objects too? Woo-Hoo! What time is Dubya's speech? Can't wait to hear Rush next Monday!

[CDB]

They changed their votes to nay,it looks like.

[A CA Guy]

Hmmm, the Republicans just switched the Yes votes to no.

[prouddvldog]

Sorry, I'm much happer I joined the military than the other jobs

[flaglady47]

I think we all ought to reserve judgment here on Linder, to see if this is some procedural necessity and if Linder was the designated Pub to vote yea because of it. If this turns out not to be the case, then we rip him to pieces; but I want to hear the "why" of his vote before I condemn. He's just a totally odd yes vote, and it doesn't make sense that he would want to be the one Pub who voted yea. Never heard of him speaking out against the war before. Has anyone else?

[doug from upland]

Good to hear. I wonder if they just accidentally hit the wrong button. It is late there.

[RunningWolf]

The 'Rat bellyaching we've had listen to the last couple of years about Bush I not getting the job done in the first Gulf War

Yes some quote mining would be apropo, agree?

Wolf

[old_sage_says]

I'm glad he changed his vote. I flipped the channel to a basketball game and didn't see the erasure of his vote.

[July 4th]

Maybe Tom Delay took them back into the cloakroom for a little talk?

Inglewood jack!

[agincourt1415]

I was about to say, Linder just made a mistake throwing the switch.

Linder is not about to vote YEA, from Georgia, half the state is a MILITARY BASE!

For the record... Rep. John Murtha stated on the House floor tonight: "Our troops have become the enemy"

He means that the troops are the enemy in the eyes of the Iraqis. This is where he's wrong. They are the enemies of the insurgents and terrorists -- many of whom are not Iraqis, like Zarqawi.

Well, whatever he "meant"... I sure hope the GOP uses that quote to its full advantage, whether in context or not (they won't, though). You just KNOW how the RATs love to do that... and they get away with it.

[FreeAtlanta]

lol, CNN has moved on. Now that the vote isn't going their way. rothfl. I wonder how many of them are over on DU posting?

[Peelod]

Bernie the Commie voted NAY

[Timeout]

If someone photoshops it, add a point #3:

1. Cut

2. Run

3. Buy turbans/burkhas

[Fudd Fan]

perhaps that Congresscritter from North Carolina who's spoken out against the war? Bass, I think?

Y'mean this guy...?

[Christian4Bush]

Yea = 3 (all D)
Nay = 403 (215 R, 187 D, 1 I)
Present = 6 (all D)
Not Voting/Yet = 22 (16 - R, 6 - D)

[faithincowboys]

Nope, he was the go-to-guy to provide the Rats with cover when they POTUS and VPOTUS started making points against them. By the way, Murtha is owned by the Heinz-Kerrys. He was very tight with Jack Heinz before he died and is still tight with Mama T.

[Windcatcher]

The DUmmies aren't happy...
