25 Democrats Voted against it and 3 Democrats didn't vote!
We are pleased to announce that the Senate voted and passed the Cornyn Amendment condemning detestable attacks on General Petraeus and U.S. Armed Forces!
By a vote of 72-25 (3 not-voting), the Senate passed the Cornyn Amendment that strongly condemns any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. This Amendment also sends a clear message to the U.S. Armed Forces, letting them know that MoveOn.org and their liberal cohorts in the Senate do not speak for the majority of Americans.
However, 25 Democrats voted AGAINST this amendment that supports the U.S. Armed Forces and 3 Democrats didn't even take the time to vote!

Ashamed to say it but my senators are durbin and osama. Illinois has 2 lying bastard traitors in the U.S.Senate.
New York does, too.
Please post the wording of the amendment. We can then see why these critters were offended.
It is the fact that people like Feinstein and Boxer and Clinton and Reid and Feingold and the rest can stay in the Senate, year after year, with no fear of being defeated in an election, that my faith in a divine God is shaken to its roots.
Cornyn Amendment...that’s my senator. ;o)
This is great and all, but I wish they wouldn’t have to (and they do) spend their time on stuff like this (IOW - get behind the program Dems and do something about your supporters!).
I’d much rather them spend their time on getting the wall built.
Well...now we know who has been getting money from the Move On coffers! (as if we didn’t already)
