Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has told us he will be counting on his stalwart crypto-Republican double agents, Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Joe Lieberman(?-CT), to defeat a timetable being attached to the Senate's defense appropriation bill. I absolutely do not understand why the Democratic party and its Senate leadership continues to tolerate the sabotage conducted by these disloyal Senators. If their confused constituents want to keep electing them, that is their constitutional right. But the Senators should be made to run as Independents if they will not join the GOP (Go ahead Joe, join the GOP so we can reduce the confusion). If their votes are responsible for continuing the war on Iraq, the DSCC should refuse to provide any funds for their re-election campaigns. The blood will be on their hands. Assuming Gordon Smith (R-OR) realizes the intensity of anti-war sentiment in Oregon and votes for an end game, Majority Leader Reid still needs two more votes to avoid a tie for Darth Cheney to break.
