I went to bed before the vote but it would appear that we have voted to keep the troops in Iraq overwhelmingly. Good!

"did anyone see on fox crawler late last night that a republican member was seeking the immediate declassification of over 35,000 boxes of documents found in Iraq and Afgan on the WOT.

This is the BEGINNING OF THE END of the democrats "he Lied" claims. I think the Repulicans and the WH is TIRED of their tired line."

Yeah - his name is Peter Hoekstra. I just him. He was interviewed on FNC's, "Special Report" normally hosted by Brit Hume but in this case Jim Angle was guest hosting.

I fell asleep in bed before the final vote was taken. I did get to see Kucinich blow up on the floor with his screaming rant - it was classic.

Is that about right?

In my inexpert estimation, you've summed it up.

The Democrats let one of their own (Murtha) become the spokesperson
(what with the reports of his speech in Al-Jazeera), and the House Republicans
decided to give the House Demos a golden opportunity to "go on the record".

The House Demos ingraciously reviled the Republicans for all their efforts.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Especially when you give mendacious elected officials the
chance to make crystal-clear their "aid and comfort to the enemy".

One good thing: for at least a couple hours, CSPAN2 had some sizzle.

I didn't watch the whole show. Did Murtha break down in tears again?

You would think that this "put up or shut up" vote of 403-3, would silence the dims, but we all know better.

They were crying last night - Kucinich in particular - that the resolution was a fraud and he wouldnt vote, aye.

I was able to witness Murtha speak before the first vote and he was not crying. He was somewhat jovial, in fact.

I fell asleep before the second round of voting, so I dont know if Murtha & the others got up to make another round of speeches.

Another classic - Jim McDermott got up to speak and he started talking about how Arabs dont want to sign a piece of paper - they settle differences another way. He started going on and on about some story/example.......I would like to hear someone give a good accounting of McDermott's speech.

When all was said and done last night Murtha Voted NAY!
This was a ploy by the Dem's now they have to put up or SHUT-UP!
It took Sen Sam Johnson to set the record not to pull out.
He was in the Air force 29 years he was a POW . That was the deciding vote Hooray for Johnson!

Dems wanted Jean Schmidt to sit on the 'naughty step'. She's made a lot of Lib. enemies tonight, but even more friends and supporters. Bless her heart, and bless that Marine whose letter she read.

As for Andrea Mitchell saying on Imus yesterday that the WH called Murtha a coward, well, we all know she 'mispeaks' from time to time.

They are senators. This vote was in the House. And this was the fastest moving thread I have ever been part of on FR.
