Another losing day for Kerry & Murtha, two peas in a pod, two treasonous cowardly ex-soldiers.
The Senate rejected a call for the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Iraq by year’s end on Thursday as Congress erupted in impassioned, election-year debate over a conflict that now has claimed the lives of 2,500 American troops.
The vote was 93-6 to shelve the proposal, which would have allowed “only forces that are critical to completing the mission of standing up Iraqi security forces” to remain in 2007.
The vote came alongside a daylong debate in the House, where Republicans defended the war as key to winning the global struggle against terrorism while Democrats excoriated President Bush and his policies.
“We must stand firm in our commitment to fight terrorism and the evil it inflicts throughout the world. We must renew our resolve that the actions of evildoers will not dictate American policy,” House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said in remarks laden with references to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Only 5 of their buddies decided to go over the cliff with them:
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Barbara Boxer of California, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Tom Harkin of Iowa, and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Another feather in our cap. Forcing the rest of the Democrats to slap these 6 silly in front of the whole Senate was priceless. Maybe they started to believe the biased polls put out by the media…..I mean according to them the war is “wildly unpopular.”
“I was FOR America, before I voted against her!”
