House passes resolution of defeat

The House of Representatives today voted to pass a non-binding resolution of hope for the enemy of the United States. The defeatist resolution was passed 246 - 182 with two Democrats opposing the resolution and 17 white-flag Republicans supporting it. The good news is that the 40 - 60 Republican defectors that the Democrats were predicting didn’t materialize, but 17 was bad enough.

Kudos to the Democrats who did the right thing:

We need to find 17 pro-victory Republicans who we can put up to challenge these 17 in the 2008 primary.

If you are wondering what else you can do, go to The Victory Caucus.

Can you imagine if the House had passed a resolution during WWII which said 1) We support the troops, and 2) We disapprove of President Roosevelt committing any more troops to the invasion at Normandy. The disrespect for our Armed Forces, the providing of hope to our enemies and the surrender mentality is something I wouldn’t have expected from Republicans.

We must keep in mind General Douglas MacArthur’s statement, “There is no substitute for victory.”
