A Senate GOP amendment to repudiate the MoveOn.org ad passed Thursday 72-25 as Republicans tried to force Democrats to distance themselves, on the record, from the controversy.
GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the amendment "gives our colleagues a chance to distance themselves from these despicable tactics, distance themselves from the notion that some group literally has them on a leash, like a puppet on a string."
Among Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut voted against the resolution. Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Barack Obama of Illinois didn't vote.
The Democrats on Thursday failed to pass their resolution. It included a condemnation of the "unwarranted personal attack" on Petraeus, but also condemned "personal attacks" that happened in 2002 against then-Democratic Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia and attacks in 2004 against Sen. John Kerry. The vote was 51-46, but 60 votes were needed to proceed.
The disgusting fact that 22 Democrats voted to condemn the move on.org ad is appalling! They joined with Bush cronies posing as Republican Senators to trash this ad. but they can easily trash John Kerry and Max Cleland for their criticism of the war! WTF happen to party loyalty! This is the reason why Democrats may not win the White House next year! How in the fuck can you selectively chose sides to save your own asses! How can Democrats continue to bend over and support this war!
This is the reason why I detest both parties! Republicans for being so damn evil. And Democrats for having no focus and no fucking spine! This country is going to shit and keep it up Americans. Like I said before. We will have to be held for our sins at some point. And believe me. You thought 9/11 was bad! Wait until you see what Karma will bring to us!
Congrats Democrats..... you once again earn the title of Bitch Of The Month!
