Boy, 14 token Nays are A LOT for the Senate....

If we could get 95% disapproval on the Iraq Occupation, we might get 25 token Nays next time...

Hell, we might get 30...

2. Congratulations Democratic Congress members
You have just purchase 1/2 interest in the war! Thank you for taking the burden off the GOP's hands. Perhaps, Rush Limbaugh can say nice things about you for 5 minutes.;(
