U.S. Senate Votes to Condemn MoveOn for Ad Attacking General Petraeus.
The measure passed in a 72-25 vote, with none of the Democratic presidential candidates supporting it.
Here is how the United States Senate Voted Against MoveOn: U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call VoteU.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call Vote
Asking questions is "attacking"? Pointing out discrepancies is "attacking"? Trying to keep people from not getting killed by revealing and insisting on the truth is "attacking"?
Just because someone is in the military and has the ability to blind me with the light bouncing off their countless medals does not place them in a position of moral infallibility. The media lies. The government lies. The military lies. And people die as a result.
Call the other 72 senators who voted and ask them why they don't care about the truth or about your life, ask them why they wasted their time (paid for by us) to draw up a resolution opposing a newspaper ad. Don't they have better things to do? um.. like stopping our government from going bankrupt fighting a useless war that only endangers us.

As the poster above stated, it is all nonsense in MHO...although I never would agree to the "h" part.
As I read the names of the 25, I recognize several with whom I generally agree, and in the case of Senator Bingaman (NM) who I helped elect, I support many of his positions as a former NM resident.
I wonder if we should start congressional oversight review into all advertisements. Not a bad idea, right?
I think congress should stop making non-binding resolutions. Waste of time. I think it's appalling that they feel they have the time to make these resolutions when they haven't fixed...
Agree with previous poster's comments. This is an attempt to distract the public from real issues. bush called the ad "disgusting". I don't remember him denouncing the ads run against Max Cleland, a triple amputee veteran from Georgia, nor did he repudiate the ads run against John Kerry by the Swift Boat Veterans. I can't remember the last time I disagreed with Feingold. He was my choice for president.
I do suport our men and women fighting every were I am glad to see we arnt abandoning them and saying what they are doing is a waste of time. They will always have my suport and I will allso welcome them home when the job is done and show my apreciation for there hard work how ever I can, they make this country what it is today and I am verry proud of that... Thank you for the thread and your service sir.
Yet another blowhard post from a right-wing troll.
