In the Senate, after weeks of skirmishing, Republicans easily turned back Democratic legislation requiring a troop withdrawal to begin within 120 days. The measure set no fixed deadline for completion of the redeployment, but set a goal of March 31, 2008. The vote was 50-48 against the measure, 12 short of the 60 needed for passage.
And who can we blame for the failure of this legislation?
Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon was the only Republican to support the measure. Democrats Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Ben Nelson of Nebraska opposed it, as did Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent Democrat.
So we gained the support of one Republican but lost the support of two Democrats and a traitor.
Well now we all know who to hate!
If you look at Ben Nelson's voting record you will see he is another Republican in Dem clothing.
