Reply #7: They'd change their vote to go with the winning team [View All]

No one thought, for a second, that the MAJORITY of the Senate would vote to leave Iraq. I mean, forget that!! No WAY that was gonna happen. If we take the Senate back, I WOULD expect the vote to shift.

The reasons for the vote today were many: you have Senators who vote to suck up because they have a piece of legislation that they need a GOPig co-sponsor for, you have Senators whose states are over-conservative, and you have the few idiotic hawks who can't see what's going on over there because when they whizzed through the Green Zone, it was fairly quiet. This was a lost cause from the git-go, because we do NOT HAVE A MAJORITY. Once we have a majority, our majority leader can tan the hides of anyone who strays from the platform paths. The committees giveth, and the committees taketh away....
