Senate Floor vote on redeploying in Iraq now.

[MiniMe]

The typical repuke arguments. Harry Reid was pretty good on this issue. Calling roll now.

[bdamomma]

1. oh, those repigs keep on spewing the same ole talking points

Lieberman was disgusting. They are just piling up the bodies higher and higher, and why are the attacks down??? Maybe because they are ethically cleansing the area.

[MiniMe]

3. Mostly because the Sunni's agreed to a cease fire. But reducing attacks wasn't

exactly the purpose of the surge. It was to stabalize Baghdad to give the Iraqi politicians move to come to political decisions on 18 points that needed to be decided. Only a few are finished. In other words, there has been no progress, therefore the surge is a failure as far as that goes.

2. Reid did a good

job of stating their case, unfortunately it fell on deaf ears, the only question is how many Dem's will vote with the Reptilians to kill it.

[MiniMe]

5. He did a great job, praising the troops, but saying it is failing because there

is no political progress. He sounded disgusted with McConnell.

4. Did Stevens vote Aye?

Is there more than one Stevens or is it only Ted?

[MiniMe]

6. Hutchison voted Aye?

What is going on. Are these the Senators that are up for re-election

9. Sounds like a cloture vote, not a vote on the measure itself.

edit--that would explain the Repub ayes.

[L. Coyote]

10. Correcto Mundo. Lieberman NO. 60 YEAs moves to the vote on the bill.

[TahitiNut]

11. Yup.

That's why it seems like "strange bedfellows."

[TwilightGardener]

13. This won't even come close to passing.

[L. Coyote]

15. Mitch McConnell happy to discuss the succes in Iraq!

[L. Coyote]

16. Sen Dick Durban. "...time to face issues" in a great rant on R stalling....

"I am weary of 3,972 servicemen killed in Iraq....."

[idovoodoo]

17. I would gladly give everything I own to see Durbin or somebody walk over to McConnell

and just knock the little pasty-pansy prick on his ass. :grr:
