Just in...

[pogo101]

2/3 of 435 is 290. Plus, it would need 67 Senate votes.

Mr. President, if ever there was a right time to announce the capture or death of OBL, that time is now.

“This is a reality check to arrogant libs.”

CORRECTION: This “SHOULD BE” a reality check to arrogant libs.

Unfortunately, Liberal Insanity is not easily swayed by insignificant things like the Constitution...

what’s the roll call? who are the traitor ‘pubbies who voted for surrender?

[zendari]

290

[greyfoxx39]

ROTFLMBO! Spot on!

[kittymyrib]

So the vote to over-ride got 4 more votes than the original surrender bill. I’d like to see the list and where those four extra votes came from.

I’d hit it!!With a two by four!

What about the *urp* personal magnetism, charisma and leadership of Nancy “the Scarf” Pelosi?

ANY OF THEM REPUBLICANS?

Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-California, replied, “You’ve made your point. You had your dog-and-pony show. You’ve posed for political holy pictures on TV. Now what is your plan to support the troops?”

Wow! They actuall reported on something a REPUBLICAN said!

[Moose4]

Interesting that Kookcinich only voted “present.”

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Well, mine was a good guess.. ;o) Bit thanks for the particulars.

[jveritas]

Expected but still it is good to see the traitors defeated.

[Be Free]

If I were writing the headline:

“Democrats Lose in Showdown with President over Iraq Funding”

sub-headline: “Pelosi barely musters 3/4ths of votes required for veto override”

[kittymyrib]

Thanks for the list. I see the Nancy-boy Dem, Chet Edwards, who ran as a conservative last year in his TX district< which includes Ft. Hood and College Station, voted with his Queen again. That liar better not come back here with his dimples next election and say he supports the troops.
And I’ve noticed that Lampson, the faux-conservative Dem that is in Tom DeLay’s seat, hasn’t voted on any of these bills. That way he can claim that he didn’t support Queen Nancy and her merry band of cheese-eating surrender monkeys. That’s just being the coward he is, and I hope the good conservative voters around Sugar Land are paying attention.

[jveritas]

How many votes are needed for an override?

292 votes in the House “and” 67 votes in the Senate.

ANY OF THEM REPUBLICANS?

Yeas: Gilchrest and Jones
Not Voting: Davis, Jo Ann, McMorris Rodgers and Westmoreland.
