Wimpy Republicans at it again

"That night, in a supposedly-recorded House vote, Republicans defeated -- by 215-213 -- a measure Democrats desperately wanted to ensure that welfare benefits would continue to flow to illegal aliens. The vote was reopened to allow Members to change their votes. When the Cong. Mike McNulty struck the gavel again, the vote was a 214-214 tie. Under the rules of the House, tie votes are a win for the Democratic majority. According to a source close to the Select Committee’s investigation, “And frankly if you played the [video] tape, that’s what it looked like. On closer examination, believe it or not it’s actually worse.” House Democrats running the Select Committee are very uneasy that -- in its first day of hearings -- the investigation revealed that not only was the vote reopened improperly, but that once reopened, it was then closed early to cut off timely Republican votes in order to produce the tie."

-If the shoe were on the other foot, there would be front page headlines on NY Times, LA Times, SF Chronicle, etc. lambasting Republicans for illegal tactics, stemming the people's voice, etc. Where is the backbone of the Republican Party?! Why do they play nice with these lawless Socialist that are destroying this country by forcing their will on us?! Do Republican Lawmakers lack testicles?! I don’t understand playing nice with the enemy, perhaps this is why we won’t win the War on Terror because Republicans lack any semblance of fortitude for fighting for anything, let alone their beliefs. If Republicans can’t fight for their beliefs, then they deserve to be trammeled this upcoming election and the entire country deserves what it gets for electing these backboneless wimps.
