In a stroke of pure genius!!!

In what I would term a pure stroke of genius, Republicans in the House called the democrats' bluff proposed by John Murtha yesterday:

The House on Friday overwhelmingly rejected calls for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq, a vote engineered by the Republicans that was intended to fail. Democrats derided the vote as a political stunt.

"Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq," said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the war.

The House voted 403-3 to reject a nonbinding resolution calling for an immediate troop withdrawal

Perhaps the most telling "Pot meet Kettle" moment was:

Democrats said it was a political stunt and quickly decided to vote against it in an attempt to drain it of significance.

"A disgrace," declared House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "The rankest of politics and the absence of any sense of shame," added Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat.

No. moonbats--a political stunt is when you use soldiers as a political football while they are in harm's way as a means of gaining political advantage. Absence of any sense of shame is when an ex-democrat CIC calls our soldiers' mission a mistake on foreign soil--in a muslim country, nonetheless! The rankest of politics is when the DNC continues to perpetrate a known lie, damn the consequences, in order to embarrass a president simply for the reason that there is a "R" next to his name.

What the Republican majority did today was to call you demo-tramps out for the bastards that you are.

I sincerely hope you choked on that vote.

Bastards.
