Iraq Resolution Vote (House)

by Sandwich Repairman, Fri Feb 16, 2007 at 05:22:41 PM EST

The vote on the resolution was 246-182 (57%-42%).  That's significantly narrower than the margin by which the American people oppose this escalation (60-70% oppose it).  Two Democrats, Gene Taylor (MS-4) and Jim Marshall (GA-8) again, voted no.  Seventeen Republicans--fewer than had been speculated and certainly than I'd hoped--voted yes.  Two Democrats and four Republicans didn't vote.

The 17 Republicans who voted yes were:
Mike Castle (DE-AL)
Howard Coble (NC-6)
Tom Davis (VA-11)
John Duncan (TN-2)
Phil English (PA-3)
Wayne Gilchrest (MD-1)
Bob Inglis (SC-4)
Timothy Johnson (IL-15)
Walter Jones (NC-3)
Ric Keller (FL-8)
Mark Kirk (IL-10)
Steve LaTourette (OH-14)
Ron Paul (TX-14)
Tom Petri (WI-6)
Jim Ramstad (MN-3)
Fred Upton (MI-6)
Jim Walsh (NY-25)

Re: Iraq Resolution Vote (House) (none / 0)

A real nut job at the Washington Post named Paul Kane called this one a Republican victory.  Not only did 97% of Republicans vote to go to war in the first place but 91% of them supported the surge.  This definitely ties the war like a tin can to the tail of every Republican running for Federal office.

Thanks Deb Pryce for giving us your head on a chopper.  Thanks Mike Ferguson. Your margin of victory the last time was exceeded by 3,000 votes from your district for the bring the troops home now party (or some such).  Your Dr. Seuss campaign (Linda Stender is a Spender) has met its match.

Thanks Heather Wilson.  You may be shrewd but stupid is as stupid does.  Lemming.

Oh, yeah.  Even Denny Hastert didn't vote for the surge (no vote).
