The Face(s) of Capitulation

Today the United States House voted for Capitulation.  Republicans, joined by too many Democrats, voted for a war without end.  They voted for a blank check.

Not long ago we passed a bill through both the House and Senate fully funding our troops and their safe withdrawal from Iraq.

Then they capitulated.  They gave up.

Friends Dont Let Friends Drive Drunk

Congress took the keys for this war from the President.  Now they have given them back.

Who are these people?  I do not have time to list everyone.  Please add names in the comments section.

Walter Jones (R-NC)

Heath Shuler (D-NC)

Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD)

Jason Altmire (D-PA)

Robert Andrews (D-NJ)

Baron Hill (D-IN)

Steny Hoyer (D-MD)

Roll Call from today in the HOuse.
Roll Call from the first time through in the House.

As I was putting this together the Senate voted.  Thank You Obama and Hillary for voting No.  To the 80 some Senators who voted for this, I hope you attend every soldier's funeral between now and the end of time.

•  Those Smiling Faces

  are the people with no spine, who decided that avoiding attacks from Fox News (hahahahha) was more important than protecting the lives of our troops.

•  We need to get the master list

  up color coded somewhere so that everyone can see who is finished and who is moving forward politically.

  •  Im done

    Anyone who voted for this is persona non grata for a long time.  They have a lot of work to do to gain my trust ever again.

    To those Democrats strong enough to stand up, men like Brad Miller, David Price and Mel Watt.  I will go to the gates of hell for you.

•  Let me add

  another face to my list.

    •  Bob -

      I'm so disappointed. I hope you have an answer for me when I call and ask you, 'Why?'.

  •  I never

    thought I would see the day when I would be so pissed at GK.  What a horrible day.

    by Blue South on Thu May 24, 2007 at 05:49:27 PM PDT

  •  This one was a surprise.

    And a huge disappointment.

•  complete list of representatives voting yes

  is here

  by Mehitabel9 on Thu May 24, 2007 at 05:48:56 PM PDT

  •  Ugh, I missed the link in the diary. Nevermind.

    by Mehitabel9 on Thu May 24, 2007 at 05:49:56 PM PDT

•  Those Dems who voted yay

  are no all Bush's partners in war crime.
  In 2002/2003 they might not have known that they were being lied to by Bush.
  Now they all know the truth - if they voted yay they voted for the continuation of an illegal war of aggression and belong behind bars with the others.

•  Small consolation

  But at least my congressman (Brady-PA) voted NO.

  by DebtorsPrison on Thu May 24, 2007 at 06:08:04 PM PDT

  •  So did mine (Ryan OH).

    Good man, Tim Ryan ... here was Tim talking on a happier occasion:

•  From now until the '08 elections

  and forever more....we've got to keep sending them emails (or snail mail or phone calls) to let them know that not only are we watching and keeping a tally....BUT THAT WE VOTE!

  •  im going to write

    two letters tonight.  One to people like Brad Miller and David Price and Mel Watt.

    Another to Heath and McIntyre and the others.

    by Blue South on Thu May 24, 2007 at 06:27:48 PM PDT

    •  gonna have to write to Sen Burr as well

      He voted no also.  even though it was because he did not like the Sept cut off date.

      by baffled on Thu May 24, 2007 at 07:38:13 PM PDT

      •  is that why?

        thanks for figuring it out.

        I dont write to him or Dull.  Its a matter of principle.

        by Blue South on Thu May 24, 2007 at 07:47:22 PM PDT

        •  I did not figure it out

          it was noted in Barbara Boxer's Diary.  There were many of us that were quite suprised over Burr's Vote.

          by baffled on Thu May 24, 2007 at 08:01:13 PM PDT

          •  oh ok

            I have been busy not just with this vote, but with watching a flurry of activity in the state house and senate.  I will look at her diary later.

            by Blue South on Thu May 24, 2007 at 08:20:21 PM PDT

          •  Well call ME baffled -

            Burr voted no? Will wonders never cease?

            Do I detect a redeeming social value?

            Hark! Is that hoofbeats that I hear?

            by Unique Material on Fri May 25, 2007 at 03:03:03 AM PDT

•  Me Too....we always need to reward

  our voices WILL be heard!

•  Good for Ellison and McCollum from MN

  by jigsaw68 on Thu May 24, 2007 at 06:37:36 PM PDT

•  Whew, for a minute there I thought

  two of the low-life republicants from NC finally had a streak of decency....should have known better.

  by Mark Adams on Thu May 24, 2007 at 07:07:06 PM PDT
