Dems Should Walk Out

[earthside]

Since this is not the Murtha resolution, but is a radical Republican proposal -- the Democrats should just walk out and not vote.

Let the radical Republicans have their sham vote for all the country to see!

3. I agree

The problem is trying to get them all to do it. Some of them would stay.

4. a mere three hours ago a handful on this board just sure,,,,

totally trusting the repug i guess, that the actual proposal would even kinda be representitive of muthra. well..... i guess we CANT trust the repug, huh

and when anyone suggested waiting and acutally seeing what was being offered we were immediately attack either for slaughter or against

why did anyone buy into the repugs, after all this time

6. If many Dems walk out, what's to stop

the Repubs from shelving this and then calling for a vote on some of the bills they withdrew earlier? Like the big tax bill? Could this be their plan?

I seem to remember another time just a few weeks ago when they said a vote wouldn't be held, many of the Dems left for lunch or something, and the Repubs put the bill back in for a vote after saying they wouldn't. Couldn't something like that happen here if we leave?

Never ever forget what sneaky bastards they are.

10. 2/3 of the House must be present

for a bill to come to a vote. That's how.

5. I wish they had...

a 'vote of no confidence' like they do in England.

7. I think they should call their bluff and start voting yes.

:P

Make them sweat a bit.

9. The should stay, but abstain.

If I were a Dem Congressman I would abstain.

11. NO THEY SHOULDN'T. The reporter on Hardball just said the Pubs

changed the wording of the resolution for the vote tonight. It actually says "To pull out of Iraq as soon as poissible." He said that gives the Dems and some Pubs a great opportunity to vote YES!

Thank about it. ASAP means just what it says, and not TOMORROW!
