[angstlessk]

1. I am hearing the music from final jeapordy in my head n/t

[cspanlovr]

2. 3 republicans have voted yea so far. 11:10 left.

[malaise]

3. Let's go Dems.

Stage one and a victory. Next cut off the money.

[Sydnie]

4. Wonder if they are going to open the phones after that?

Should be interesting!

[Klukie]

5. Who is the Dem nay vote?

[southern_belle]

6. I hope it's not Charlie Melancon

[lancdem]

7. Wondering that, too

[Sydnie]

8. I don't remember the guy's name

but I did see his speech a few days ago. I was expecting at least one dem no because I heard him say that was how he was going to vote.

[orleans]

9. do you remember where he was from? what state? n/t

[Sydnie]

17. I don't

I was so shocked to hear him say he would be voting no. (also, my kids were in the room distracting me, so I was only half paying attention to the screen. I heard the speech but didn't catch the name.)

[Sydnie]

30. See post 27 n/t

[southern_belle]

10. 2 Dem "nay" now

:(

[lancdem]

12. Was he a conservative Dem who supported the surge

or a liberal one who thinks the resolution doesn't go far enough?

[Sydnie]

15. Somewhere inbetween I think

I don't remember him saying that he supported the surge, but he was afraid of the message it would send all the same.

[lancdem]

19. Thanks

[southern_belle]

16. he's one of the most conservative dems in the house.

[Sydnie]

28. See post 27 n/t

[Klukie]

11. Two Dem Nay votes now... WTF?

[orleans]

13. people didn't vote for them so that they could turn "republic" n/t

[southern_belle]

14. 13 Rethug "Yeas" so far

[lancdem]

18. That's pretty good

[gumby]

20. Passed!

Yes! Take that Commander Bunnypants!

[tridim]

22. He'll ignore the vote because "Congress is just a focus group" n/t

[Graybeard]

21. Two DINO's vote nay...get their names!

[Fresh_Start]

26. taylor and marshall were the nays

from the dems

[Sydnie]

27. Marshall is the guy I saw speak

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g84CPbYp1-M

here's his floor speech!

[Fresh_Start]

31. I dont question his sincerity

I question his sense.

Basically he's said because Bush chose to surge, the people have to suck up and live with it.
I don't accept that. We, and especially Congress should not slink away from a conflict.

[malaise]

23. 246-182

Resolution passes disapproving of troop increase in Iraq.

it's a start DUers. Give thanks.

[Graybeard]

25. You're right. This is a historic resolution ...

...and cannot be put down by saying it is non-binding. It is the voice of the people!
