SENATE SLUMBER PARTY

The United States Senate will be in session all night tonight just to debate yet another surrender proposal for the Iraq front. Where does one start with this? The actual matter the distinguished gentlemen are debating is the "Levin-Reid" ammendment requiring withdrawal of U.S. forces by nest March. The two named sponsors of the ammendment should tell you everything about this particular bit of theater. The Senate is once again dishonored as the Democraps pursue another bridge too far effort to satisfy their defeatist base.

First, it is already known that the ammendment will not garner the sixty vote total needed for passage. Senate rules require sixty votes to do anything. The Dems defended the sixty vote rule when they were the minority, and the Republicans have a duty to do the same. Staying up all night isn't going to change any votes. Democrap Senate Majority Leader Harry "Turban" Reid says the all night session is necessary to explain Republican "obstruction" (insisting on the sixty vote total). Nevermind that our good friend from Nevada is wasting Senate time pursuing a measure he knows will not pass. There is indeed business other than exceeding their constitutional war authority the Senate could and should be pursuing.

Second, the point is moot. Unless "Turban" Reid can muster up a veto-proof majority (2/3), he's wasting time. Is anyone not familiar with the Presidents position on troop withdrawal? It's only been stated about a thousand times. Any Congressional effort to even hint at withdrawal will be vetoed. Until the surrender monkeys can count on votes in excess of the 2/3 needed, all they can do is flap their gums and throw feces. Perhaps there is another bill that harms our national security Senator Reid would like to push.

Public consensus has settled on the idea of waiting to hear from General Petreaus

in September. We owe at least that to all involved. The Democraps are once again going too far in their effort to embarass the CINC.

Texas Senator John Cornyn (pictured above) called it a "slumber party". He's right. It's a bunch of little girls who won't get their way, so they make everyone stay for the night.
