42 Democrat Congressmen Sell Out Troops to Vote with GOP.

42 Democrats played right into the Republicans hands by voting with them on a worthless measure designed to make the Dems appear weak on terror.

Two days of wasted time culminated with 42 Democrats showing that principles mean nothing compared to their fear of the right.

The 42 Democratic Congressmen that are more concerned with how they appear to the radical right than they are with the troops, are,

John Barrow, Melissa Bean, Howard Berman, Marion Berry, Sanford Bishop, Dan Boren, Leonard Boswell, Rick Boucher, Dennis Cardoza, Ed Case, Ben Chandler, Jim Cooper, Jim Costa, Jerry Costello, Bud Cramer, Henry Cuellar, Lincoln Davis, Chet Edwards, Bob Etheridge, Bart Gordon, Gene Green, Stephanie Herseth, Brian Higgins, Tim Holden, Ron Kind, Rick Larsen, Daniel Lipinski, Stephen Lynch, Jim Marshall, Jim Matheson, Carolyn McCarthy, Mike McIntyre, Charles Melancon, Dennis Moore, Collin Peterson, Mike Ross, John Salazar, Adam Smith, Vic Snyder, John Spratt, Gene Taylor, Bennie Thompson
and yes my weak-kneed, republican voting Democrat Congressman Dan Boren is once again with them.

Over in the Senate, the Republicans are putting on the same show. We only had six senators that were smart enough or gutsy enough, not to go along with this White House produced farce.

Barbara Boxer of California.
Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin.
Tom Harkin of Iowa.
Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.
John Kerry of Massachusetts.

Six senators that real Democrats can be proud of.
