In the end the supplemental passed 37-27 along party lines except for Rep. Barbara Lee voting against the supplemental. Before the vote Lee explained that in deference to Rep. Obey she would not submit her amendment which required a troop withdrawal by December 31, 2007. She said she could not vote for the supplemental because it did not go far enough. “I believe the American people sent a mandate to us to bring home our men and women before the end of the year,” she said.

My name it means nothing, my age it means less. My deeds of activism are mine to enjoy and share as I feel necesary, not as some clown in a small forum's administration thinks I must..This place gets worse each and every visit.

Who represents the people?

Are there any democratic loyalists who care to comment on how they havent enough of a majority, or are too newly in the majority or some other ridiculous and apologetic nonsense for the obvious appeasment, complicity and pandering going on in your party?

How many cowardly democratic legislators went out to a late supper with lobbyists from the military industrial folks after voting away the lives of a few more thousands?
