Democrats Defeated - 403-3

The Democrats have been screaming this week about wanting to get the troops out of Iraq immediately, led by Representative John I-Didn't-Say-That-The-Video-Lies Murtha of Pennsylvania.

Today, the Republicans called their bluff and made the Democrats put their votes where their mouths are. And the Democrat "strategy" of cut-and-run was soundly defeated.

That should send a message of support to the troops and a message of American strength to the terrorists!

Of course, the Democrats are now screaming foul. They voted against the resolution themselves, calling it a publicity stunt.

Folks know who the publicity seekers are, and they would prefer to have serious adults in charge.

By the way, the three who voted for the resolution did not include Representative Murtha, after all his blustering. They were Jose Serrano (D-NY), Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).

In addition, six Democrats couldn't even bring themselves to take a stand either way; they voted "present" instead: Michael Capuano (MA), William Lacy Clay (MO), Maurice Hinchey (NY), Jim McDermott (WA), Jerrold Nadler (NY), and Major Owens (NY).
