Here's the article, check it out
I'm going to keep this short just to get this out there.
Holy crap. I had to read this twice to make sure I got it right. The House is debating an Iraq resolution that will state that the Congress does not endorse the President’s "surge" plan. Desperate Republicans, eager to stop Congress from expressing the will of the people actually put up a resolution stating that Congress will not cut off funding for troops in harm’s way. Do you realize what that means?
It’s saying that not only will Congress cede to the President its Constitutional duty to declare war, which it did in October 2002, but they want to allow Bush to carry on the war as long as he wants to. One man, with the entire decision-making ability to take this country to war wherever and for however long he likes and at whatever cost. Can you say Julius Caesar? How about Hitler? Saddam Hussein? Anybody?!
Republicans, just hours ago, proposed a legal tyranny in these United States. They tried to force a vote but it was defeated by, get this, 227-197!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s nearly a party line vote!!! Almost all House Republicans just voted to turn this country into a military dictatorship. Oh. My. God.
