BREAKING 3:25 P.M. E.T.—SENATE PANEL APPROVES SYRIA USE OF FORCE RESOLUTION

63. Right...

dont kid yourself, this wasnt about being against a war it was about being against OBAMA. If R-Money had won the last election, bet your ass there would be a full infantry division in Damascus already.

Yeah, I'll take what I can get, (and I guess I'll give credit where credit is due) but I have no illusions about why it was done. It was done to re-enforce the idea that they are in complete lockstep with the idiot base that wouldn't let this President give them a 100$bill if it were drawn off of his own account.

Me personally, I have more respect for those here (and those Democrats in our government) who disagree with me about this, as I understand that they have a lot more at stake by voting YES (and therefore REALLY pissing off thier liberal base); it tells me that they are doing what they at least think is right, regardless of the political consequences to them personally (no such behavior currently exists in the elected body of the GOP, BTW).

I have no such illusions regarding the GOP. What will be funny to watch, though, is if this ends up being a no-vote across the board, and Obama honors that, they will do their damndest to rip him apart in the next set of Primaries, for "not having the courage of his convictions" or some such nonsense. We, EVERY ONE OF US, need to remember how they voted on this, and hold them to their argument.

If they say, "well, no wanted another Iraq." ask them Why the fuck not, what the hell was so wrong with what happened THERE?

I don't want a shooting war with Syria. But if the GOP loons want to make this about un-necessary wars, I PROMISE you I will do everything in my argumentative power to make them OWN (finally) that little fuckwad Jr. I will MAKE them throw him under the bus, as a matter of their own PERSONAL political survival.

ON EDIT: Also, I WILL NOT support military action in Syria JUST BECAUSE President Obama is the candidate I voted for (twice). That kind of idiocy is the domain of the GOP, and it's what got us into Iraq in the FIRST PLACE. I understand Party Loyalty, but that goes both ways..the party I'm loyal to, must ALSO be loyal to ME, at least by some measure some of the time.
