Pro, the story was fine.... (Only your comment was a little skewed, since you acted like a direct vote on the proposed amendment had taken place, when in fact it had not.) No biggy. Relax. (I can see that you are clearly not going to bother apologizing for saying I was 'wrong', when I wasn't, but no matter....) What's this thing with you and 'outing' though? Are you fixated on something? (Perhaps some after-effect from your recent distressful encounter with our medical system?) --------------------------------------------------- "They were no shows." Correct, they did not show up for the cloture vote, as their votes were not needed to defeat the motion, and they were off campaigning. (They did say that if the cloture motion had succeeded, they would have returned to Washington to cast votes against the amendment. And, as I've already pointed out, several who voted FOR the proposal to end debate and move to floor consideration of the amendment proposal, had already indicated they would have in turn voted against the amendment... such as Senator Warner, etc.) Headcounts reported up to 60 possible votes against the amendment --- but it never came to a vote. As to the rest of your post --- Kerry's military record (I guess, contrasted to Bush's since, after all, this is the election year), the following links will help to illustrate the contrast. These contain much more recent data: news.findlaw.com And, so too here: glcq.com
