What if the Democrats refused to vote?
What if the House Dems all walked out and refused to cast votes? The Repubs wouldn't pass this anyway.

2. watching the voting tally
I'm surprised to see the Repubs voting Yea on this resolution.

Since they have a majority, aren't they in danger of having this pass?

And if it did pass, would that be such a bad thing? Maybe I'm missing something, but if the House called for immediate withdrawl of troops from Iraq, that sounds like a good thing.
