Reality vs. Denial

-- Jayson

The U.S. House of Representatives voted today on a number of W.O.T. resolutions.

One such resolution essentially declared that detaining and then interrogating al-Qaeda vermin trash heaps, at Gitmo, was essential to the global war against terrorism. Yeah, of course, they used more diplomatic language, but that was the gist of the provision.

And here’s how they voted:

Republicans

In favor: 223.
Opposed: 4.
Present: 2.
Not voting: 1.

Democrats

In favor: 81.
Opposed: 119.
Not voting: 2.

Think about that for a moment.

Nearly 60 percent of the Democrat House caucus voted against the status quo at Gitmo, and, by implication, against the ruthless prosecution of the war against Islamo-fascist terrorism.

Astonishing. But not surprising.

Harry Truman is rolling over in his grave.

P.S. - Here’s the liberal media’s version of events.

P.P.S. - Here’s the roll call on the other key amendment to which the AP makes reference. Yes, Sullivan-Reynolds, there most certainly are major distinctions between Republicans and modern-day Democrats.
