Geez! I thought Chia’s idea was stupid…looks like he just passed the “disease” on to Hillary (via Free Republic):

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has called for a 90-day deadline to start pulling American troops from Iraq.

Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, has been criticized by some Democrats for supporting authorization of the war in 2002 and for not renouncing her vote as she seeks the U.S. presidency in next year’s election.

“Now it’s time to say the redeployment should start in 90 days or the Congress will revoke authorization for this war,” the New York senator said in a video on her campaign Web site, repeating a point included in a bill she introduced on Friday.

…..

I’ve got an idea, Hillary…why don’t you go “revoke” yourself! If there’s any justice you’ll get what you’ve been begging for…a one-way ticket back to Arkansas. Sorry Arkansas.

I also heard that one of the “no shows” for a vote on the resolution was John McCain. WTF?? Did he really think it was more important to campaign than to STOP this insane vote today? He’s just one more who apparently thinks that his political career is more important than supporting our troops. He was joined in not voting by eight other Republicans and one Democrat (Tim Johnson of South Dakota) who at least has the excuse that he recovering from life threatening illness! REGARDLESS of the lack of SIX votes to advance the measure for debate, McCain has exhibited reckless and thoughtless disregard for what is at stake. He should stand with other Republicans (who DID vote for this) at the “Wall of Shame” for not thinking it important enough!

He, being a former POW and knowing (just like Representative Sam Johnson) what its like to be cut off from support during a time of war and in confinement as a POW for more than 7 YEARS!! What is McCain’s excuse for not being a leader of his party and, at least, TRYING to stop his fellow Republicans from signing on to this atrocity? And don’t give me that garbage about he had plans he couldn’t cancel! John McCain wants to be President…well, he apparently can’t even lead his own party let alone the country. I will NOT vote for such a candidate. Period!

Every day Murtha and Pelosi make it crystal clear that they do NOT support the troops OR the country. Pelosi is laughing with glee at the prospect of toppling the President. They have announced it, LOUDLY!

What more evidence is needed?

We still need to contact Warner and the White Flag Senate Republicans because the vote’s too close. The Democrats are not going to quit with today’s vote. They’ll continue to come back with their own resolutions with hope of swaying far more Republicans to their side.

The success of this surge may destroy their efforts this time, though.
