Ok, not so much the majority of Democrats because they didn't vote for the bills, but the Democratic leadership needs to be shot for backing down on this. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Pisses me off, but I'm more interested in seeing the Senate vote on this bill.

They still get another shot at it in September and will be able to have more ammo if the current plan fails to produce results. I don't see any reason for you to panic and call it a loss. Call it a tactical retreat.

I know, but I wanna know *who* voted which way. Same in the House, actually. I'm curious about a few people there. Specifically, I want to know about the presidential candidates.

Found the House votes. As I figured, Ron Paul was one of the two Republicans who voted against the measure: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congres...se/1/votes/425/

I wonder how many of those no votes would be yes votes if they had the feeling the voting would've been closer. Maybe it wouldn't have changed anything, but I like to think they would've put aside politics of the war to provide financial support for the troops.
 Ok, I'm back to reality. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
