No comment, apart from this is probably the gayest photo ever.
Tuesday if I recall correctly. I think it’s pretty much over in the senate. The House keeps looking worse and worse for Obama though.
Over on think progress the count in the House is Yes 49, No 200.
If that’s accurate only 18 more No votes needed in the House to kill it!
There is no clear plan being presented, and of course that is par for the course with rudderless Obama. I imagine the D party hawks are going to start squawking about this pretty loud in the coming days and weeks. FTR I believe Obama and his anti-Western anti-White beliefs are true and he sees this as nothing more than cheap gas for Europe, so he is dragging his feet till this fails.
Are Marines required to salute Al Qaeda yet?
This was a first for me. My rep, David Joyce, R-OH, sent me this email, asking me for a quick response to an emailed poll about my stance on Syria. He’s taking the initiative to collect his constituents’ opinions before the vote. My immediate reaction was to wonder why, in this digital age, I’ve never before been contacted by a politician with a poll like this before.

Friends:
I’m currently in the process of carefully and thoughtfully weighing the decision before Congress on Syria. I plan on being thoroughly briefed and will examine every piece of information as it becomes available. I believe any military action in Syria must require a clear mission and goal as well as serve the best interests of the United States. In my opinion, the Administration has not yet met those standards.
But I want to hear from you. Please take the survey below and share your thoughts on what the U.S. should or should not do in regards to Syria. I take this decision very seriously and your input is essential.
Do you support the Obama Administration’s resolution before Congress authorizing military action in Syria?
Yes, I support military action in Syria.
No, I do not support military action in Syria.
Undecided.

I called yesterday when it was revealed Saudi Arabia was paying. Does she want to have blood on her hands, the blood of one of those fine young men and women from Cleveland's east side who joined the military to serve their country and get ahead? Why would she vote to make the military path to success another death trap they can't escape?
FWIW, she hasn't decided yet. This tells me the Obama cheerleaders, even the ones who don't fear a 'pub, might fear a primary challenge. I think we can get to the conscience of some of them who just might put their constituents (and the threat of a primary challenge) ahead of Obama's ego.
The best thing would be to bring this to a vote quickly so it can die. But since Boehner already sold out to support it, you can count on delay, delay, and more delay so he and his buddy 0bama can bribe, cajole and threaten to get the 217 or 218 votes they need. In the meantime, the delay exposes this issue for the farce that it is. And since Washington DC is completely out of touch with reality, they will be blind to how much of public embarrassment it becomes.
Monday??? Bwa-ha-ha. These guys work Tuesday thru Thursday. If that. They are arriving from their districts on Monday, and they leave on Thursday.

They get away with everything because, so far, the police are always two steps behind. They can’t get the facts on the earlier crimes fast enough before the next crime is committed.
I hope people in Congress stop this madness now.
Has anyone on either side of this fiasco mentioned the possible or probably number of casualties that may result from a strike?
It seems as if this is all about taking out some real estate, not people as well.
Therefore, if we kill 10,000 or 100,000 people on either side of this local dispute will that be a good thing as a smackdown for using gas on less than 2,000 people?
