GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...
I LOVE IT.
The vote is only in doubt by the folks crying so loudly about having to actually VOTE.
No worries mate!
Looks like House Republicans have pulled the "nucular" trigger!
Hey 'Rats, THIS IS A FRIGGEN WAR!!! Fight like men, don't run like dogs!
Eric, I agree about Blunt pulling a fast one!
RANGLE on now.
This is a vote in the House of Representatives.
Rangel Alert!
Ranting Rangel on CSPAN 1 now
yes...call 'em on it.
Not just you, but this is going on in the US House, NOT the Senate.
McGovern from Massachussets yelling at Thelma Drake (VA rep) -- "you are politicizing this -- if you want to honor the troops give us a real debate -- don't bring this garbage (Zarqawi letter) to the floor, give us a real debate".
Actually, we should demand they be removed from office immediately and tryed for Treason...
You don't seriously think anyone will vote for the resolution, do you?
Rangel is up and suddenly my throat hurts...lol
GOP pulls tax bill and calls vote on Iraq pullout
RAW STORY
House Republicans will call for a vote on the pullout on Iraq this evening after a call from hawkish Democrat Jack Murtha (D-PA) for the U.S. to immediately begin removing troops from Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
Unlike the resolution Murtha proposed, which called for the removal of troops to begin immediately, the Republican resolution calls for all troops to be pulled out at once. Democrats say this dramatically changes the nature of Murtha's original proposal.
The following email went out earlier from the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to members of her caucus. Democrats have now received a copy of the GOP resolution.

Murtha will be the only Democrat speaking on the floor during the debate, a spokesperson for House Democratic Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told RAW STORY.
The resolution is available in PDF version here.

The House will reconvene shortly. The Tax Reconciliation Act HAS BEEN PULLED, however, the Republican Leadership is bringing to the floor THEIR VERSION of Mr. Murtha's Iraq Resolution H.J.Res 73. Under the procedure, the following debate and votes will occur:
One hour of debate on the Martial Law Rule as amended to make in order a version of the H.J.Res.73 - Murtha Resolution, which we have NOT SEEN, followed by a vote.
VOTE ON MARTIAL LAW RULE
One hour of debate on the Rule to consider THEIR VERSION of the Murtha Resolution.
VOTE ON THE RULE
One hour of debate on THEIR VERSION of the Murtha Resolution
VOTE ON THE RESOLUTION

The decibel level is getting higher, and will turn ugly before it's over.
OOP. Charlie Rangel.
It's a sad day for Charlie, he says. Now, he's sad that he's being called a coward, with vicious attacks by people who never served.
"Jack Murtha has deserved to have a debate."
I predict they'll drag Murtha out like the Pope and he'll start crying on the podium as the grand finale.
RANGEL IS UP. I HEARD HIM SAY THAT HE MAY HAVE TO CATCH A PLANE TONIGHT... BWHAAAAA !! BET A LOT OF THE DEMS WILL HAVE DENTAL APPOINTMENTS, PLANES TO CATCH.....
HEY CHARLEY, YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT SO YOU ARE EITHER A COWARD OR A TRAITOR OR IN KERRY AND MURTHA'S CASES, YOU ARE BOTH!
It's like watching leeches getting doused with salt!!!
YES, YES, YES,
I knew it was coming, the GOP was going to come out punching at some point.
YEE HAW!!!
