Sanity,

Say he changed his mind and decided to go with the republicans, wouldn’t that change control of the senate?

Just Let Them Win Dammit!

Don Surber reminds us of a few Democrats who broke ranks with their party and did the right thing, they voted for victory. No more talk of defeat and "lets just cut our loses and go home" kind of talk. …

I believe Lieberman had stated he would caucus with the democrats.

Which surprised me especially after all the attacks they did on him when he wouldn’t drop out and when he ran as an Independent.

If Lieberman decides to caucus with the Republicans, doesn’t control of the senate swing back to the republicans and Harry Reid lose his job as majority leader?

I guess there are 2 other resolutions in the senate that democrats are afraid of. Why aren’t the republicans allowed to bring thier resolutions to a vote?

I don’t even know exactly what they are about, but if we live in a democracy shouldn’t the 49 republican senators in the senate have some say in what gets brought to a vote? Or am I being naive?

What a sad, ugly week it’s been for Congress. We should thank those who stood up for standing firm, and never forget those who signed on for running away. History tells us their day of reckoning is not that far off.

Yet, what a promising, hopeful week it’s been for our troops and those of our allies. These folk are professionals, and as such, they’re used to political shenanigans of one form or another, and many will continue their military careers long after these next two years are in the books.

They won’t forget, and neither will we.

On February 5, all but two GOP senators voted to block debate on the similar resolution.

This is the latest Big Lie of the MSM. A brief recap of a few recent whoppers they have told:

- Koran-flushing is the US Army’s #1 sport.

- Monitoring international phone calls to suspected terrorists is “domestic spying”.

- Gitmo=gulag.

- $90,000 found in William Jefferson’s freezer is, ah, let’s talk about Iraq.

- No terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11 is proof that al Qaeda is winning.

- WMDs found in Iraq are not WMDs.

- With Democrats, it is “constituent service”. With Republicans, it is corruption.

- Earmarks are not earmarks if Democrats use them.

- We went to war in Iraq to steal oil.

- Jamil Hussein is real to al-AP, even if no one else can see him (Kind of a journalistic Harvey).

Now the MSM tells us that “debate is censorship” and “censorship is debate”. Coming soon: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.
