This story is truly remarkable! After a blank check Iraq war funding bill was brought to the House floor today, 60% of Democrats held to the position they had last May and voted against the bill. Of course, as happened last May, the Bush Dog/DLC congresscritters voted for blank check funding of the war. However, what changed this time was that 132 Republicans voted present on the bill. Of course, this tactic was part of the strategy that they have been employing for the past several weeks, i.e. attempting to block all business on the House floor. Nevertheless, what happened this time was truly beautiful, as the Iraq war funding bill consequently failed 141-149!!!
