Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on today's vote in the United States Senate in which a bipartisan majority voted against President Bush's flawed plan to escalate the war.
"Today, a bipartisan majority of the United States Senate voted against the President's flawed plan to escalate the war. The Senate joined the House of Representatives, put itself on the record, and told the President that America needs a new direction in Iraq. As for the Republicans who chose once again to block further debate and protect President Bush, the American people now know they support the escalation.
"Today's vote against the escalation is not the end of this Iraq debate in the Senate. This war is too important to permit Senate Republicans to brush it aside. The Bush Administration's failures have put our troops and America in a deep hole, and it is time for this country and this Congress to climb out. The Republican Leadership can run from this debate, but they can't hide. The Senate will keep fighting to force President Bush to change course."

Does this mean all those judges that were filibustered were actually confirmed if the vote was more than a majority in favor of cloture?

Is this lying sack of sh*t referring to the cloture vote which failed and left the debate going on? My understanding is that no definitive vote was taken on any resolution -- Democrat or Republican. Am I right? Is Reid lying, again?

"The Bush Administration's failures have put our troops and America in a deep hole" A fair job of distilling the left's lies to just a few words.
