Reply #8: Let's Force A Vote Every Week... [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

McConnell want to block the will of the majority of the American people? Let him explain it 40 or so times. If the Repugnicans want to put party and death ahead of what's right, that's fine...let them explain their votes every time it happens...especially those in crucial Senate races.

OK...we played nice...tried to throw the GOOPers a bone with a "non-binding" resolution. Now we see how far their rhetoric of "working across the aisle" is (I'm looking at you, Warner) is pure bullshit, it's time to turn Senator Feingold loose with his long overdue resolutions. Up or down votes. Wanna "support the war" then put your vote on the record...and let's nuance it. Care to support an invasion of Iran? Let's get that out there for the voters to know. This is how the accountability process works.

And to those Democrats who still can't get the message that this war needs to end NOW and that the conflicts of your '02 vote and ego keep you from developing a spine...we're watching you as well.

I like the idea of putting restrictions on the use of the National Guard as an immediate damper on booshie's plans for bigger wars. But then if the Repugicans (and select Democrats) want to continue this tragic misadventure, they do so at their political peril.
