The Democrats Should Have Walked Out

A little good old political theater is what was in order today. Senate majority leader Harry Reid should have gathered Democrats together and when the Cornyn amendment came up they all should have walked out. Then on the Capitol steps Reid should have given a short speech on Republicans voting against the Webb amendment, which actually aided the troops, and that while soldiers are dying in battle he would not allow the Senate to be used for a political show. Not on his watch. End tape.


John Edwards didn't have the spine to stand up to the wingnut attacks, any more than he had the nerve to speak out against MoveOn.org himself. He sent his wife out to do it for him.

Now Barack Obama, when the moment to prove leadership was ripe, walked out of the Senate chamber and ducked his responsibility to be counted.

Hillary Clinton gets it. Even in the middle of a brutal attack launched by Rudy Giuliani, which will only get worse because of her vote today, Clinton stood up, stood proudly and cast a vote against the Cornyn charade...........

........ the enemy of Democrats is not MoveOn.org. Today Clinton proved why she's the frontrunner. She left the boys in the dust.

1. You go girl!

I like Hillary no matter what others may say.

[Totally Committed]

2. I am no HRC fan (to say the least....), but I fully appreciate her vote.

Whether she "gets IT" or not, she did "get it" on this, and I would be remiss not to say so.

3. The non-binding resolution should never have made it to the floor ...

In the first place.

4. Hillary gets it to this person because they support Hillary.

Taylor Marsh sounds like a typical Hillary supporter. There's nothing wrong with that - just pointing out that they are obviously biased towards Hillary and against the other candidates.

As far as the article is concerned, I agree that Hillary's vote was the correct one. I also don't have a problem with how Obama handled it. As a matter of fact, the statement from MoveOn was more in line with Obama's position than anyone else's.

5. Wouldn't you have LOVED to see them ALL walk out, though?

That would have done my heart some real good, I tell ya!

6. I would loved to have seen them all vote "No!" n/t

[Totally Committed]

7. Indeed.

That would have been awesome, but do you really think that will ever happen in this day of "Blue Dogs" and "Bush Dogs" and DLC meddling?

But, all voting NO! would have also done my heart good. I agree.

8. "Barack Obama,... walked out of the Senate chamber"

uhm, isn't' that exactly what she just proposed that Reid should have done?
