I’m still playing catch-up from the move, so I’m a few days late. However, on Thursday, the House had a vote to recommit with instructions on the continuing appropriations bill to add a resolution supporting Gen. David Petraeus and condemn MoveOn.org (scroll a bit for the text). Dennis “The Menace” Kucinich couldn’t resist cozying up to George Soros and company, and neither could Tammy Baldwin or Gwen “Crybaby” Moore (H/T – Mary).
Incredibly, the rest of the ‘Rat delegation from Wisconsin, including Steve Kagen, elected by MoveOn, voted for the resolution. Guess David Obey and Ron Kind feel they’re fossilized untouchables, and Kagen feels he can spend as much as Herb Kohl to stifle any challenges. Heck, Obey had the line of the day – “I’ve got an obligation to be equally upset when that kind of juvenile debate emanates from the left.”
Equally-incredible, Ron Paul voted for this. Guess there really is a bright line between the Dhimms and the Pubbies, even if the latter spends almost exactly like the former or adopts their language vis-a-vis the military.
While the ‘Rat House leadership that was there (paging Queen Speaker, paging Ms. Pelosi, your votes are overdue) had a bit more savvy than their Senatorial counterparts when the vote finally came down, don’t let the vote fool you. There is a reason why the Pubbies had to pull a parliamentary move to get this through a week after a resolution went through the molasses pit known as the Senate.
