Put Up Or Shut Up
WildChild is here, so I missed most of the debate over the Iraq withdrawal bill. I did, however, get to see the last bit and the voice vote. The deafening silence following the "All in favor" call cracked me up. No one in their right mind would've voted for that resolution....except the usual suspects.
Three Democrats, Jose Serrano of New York, Robert Wexler of Florida and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, voted for withdrawal. Six voted present: Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, Jerrold Nadler of New York, Maurice Hinchey of New York, Michael Capuano of Massachusetts, Major Owens of New York and William Lacy Clay of Missouri.
No word on whether Kerry voted for the resolution before he voted against it.
Heh. Sorry, just couldn't resist.
At any rate, it was something to see. You'd think the Dems would've learned that the Andy Hardy*** plan only works in the movies.
But apparently you'd be wrong.
"Hey kids! Let's get a bunch of anti-war protesters together, trot out a token Vietnam vet or two and let's put on a show! That'll knock the Repubs out of power. Whaddya say gang?"
Ummm, yeah. Not so much.
