Democratic Senators Betray Us

On Thursday, September 20, 2007, the United States passed an Amendment to legislation that had the following purpose (as copied from senate.gov): To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.

The vote was 72 – 25; The 25 United States Senators that do not think the commanding general of Multi-National Force Iraq, who commands soldiers being bombed and shot at, deserves the support of the Senate and could not condemn personal attacks on the commanding general, who commands soldiers being bombed and shot at, are:

Akaka (D-HI)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Byrd (D-WV) – formerly of the Ku Klux Klan
Clinton (D-NY) - who is running for President; uh, Commander-in-Chief of people she does not think the Senate should support!
Dodd (D-CT) - who is also running for President!
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Murray (D-WA)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Sanders (I-VT)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)

Senators Biden and Obama were conveniently campaigning for President so they conveniently missed the vote.

It makes me proud to be from the great state of New Jersey to see my two elected leaders on this list . . . NOT!

Conscience,

And so, too, do both my Senators reside on this list. I only super-bolded Sen. Kerry because I love pounding him on his cowardice.

Tomorrow or Sunday I'll post the letter that I sent to the Globe today on yesterday's vote in the Senate to force a surrender in Iraq.

Also, there were two more votes in the Senate today that will probably be worth writing about.
