House votes down pullout 403-3

This "drama" unfolded last night. I watched a little of it on C-Span and it was amazing when I switched to CNN, you would almost think they were rooting for a pullout (deep down they were). And as I listened to the pro-pullout people call in on C-Span it gave me comfort. These people have no sanity left. Note Nancy Pelosi in this Newsmax article...

Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."

Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.

Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."

"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.
Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.


Even she didn't have the balls to vote for a immeadiate pullout. This is also why Democrats must never be in power again. Frankly, I think that the vast majority of Americans are sick of them. Yes 57 million people voted against Bush but put up a solid candidate like Rudy Gulianni and I think there could be close to an electoral sweep. I mean why should you lead this country when you don't even like it or are willing to defend it against terrorists. Plus now with people like me and other conservative bloggers out there, their monopoly on what the American people see through media is over. There are more regular people than elitests out there and they know it. Note: on the radio, given a free market choice people will ALWAYS choose conservative talk radio, that's why Michael Savage is on 7 times as many stations as Air America, and NPR doesn't count because that's not free market, take public money from them and they wouldn't last a year. They're scared of us people, last night's vote proved that. Even the dems in DC with their heads up their asses realize that, if they didn't they would have voted for the pullout, only 2 did (yes 1 republican actually voted for it). Let the silent majorirty be heard!

Hey, just out of curiosity; if republicans are so good at/ concerned with fighting terrorism, why all the concentration on Iraq? What about Bin Laden? Remember him? He actually attacked us and we pulled all our guys out to fight in Iraq which had nothing to do with Bin Laden and Al Queda. Any of this ring a bell?

BTW – thanks to you and all the conservative bloggers out there, keeping us safe from the Democrat/ media/ smoking man/ alien conspiracy. You’re doing god’s work despite the fact that nearly 70% of the country disagrees with you.

Anyone know who the 3 "nays" were?

I don't vote for Democrats simply because of their refusal to understand there's such thing as a 2nd Amendment. Plus they're too stupid to figure out that that's why they got creamed in 2000. Even Bill Clinton said it. He told John Kerry three times not to mention gun control. So guess what Kerry did? Or maybe Kerry wanted to lose.
