Harry Reid organized an all-night bull session regarding an amendment for troop withdrawal in Iraq. He was unable to muster 60 votes to cut off debate and bring up a vote. Initially, he voted in favor of cloture. Then, he joined Republicans and voted against it, thereby killing a vote on the amendment.
Why would he vote against allowing a vote on an amendment he had specifically organized an all-night session to vote on?
After claiming disappointment at an outcome he helped engineer, he said that he was going to "set aside" the Defense Department authorization bill. Does that mean that democrats are seriously considering cutting off funding for our troops?
Congress has robbed Social Security blind. It has refused to allow America to become energy independent, jeopardizing not only our economy but also our security. Our dollars have built up the very people who are trying to destroy us. Now, are the lefties actually considering stranding our troops when they're in harm's way?
If so, is there a single living soul in America that Congress cares about?
