In parliamentary procedure, cloture is a motion or process aimed at bringing debate to a quick end. Do all of the public school grads have that? Cloture brings a quick end to debate. In our US Senate, it requires 60 votes for cloture. Yesterday, Republicans denied Scrawny Harry Reid and the other “we hate the war we voted for” Democrats cloture on the Iraq War Resolution of irresolution - so important to the American people that it's non-binding. So if we are to believe that cloture brings a quick end to debate, voting against cloture must be a vote for more debate. Right?
But no, apparently in the bizzaro world of Democrats, where surrender is called “redeployment”, taxes are “contributions”, voting for the war only proves how strongly you oppose it, voting against a procedure that ends debate is really in itself an effort to end debate. Huh? I voted to continue debate but Democrats are charging that I want to cut off debate. How does that work? Well, Mr. & Mrs. America in a land of public school grads and a MSM that openly roots for the liberals anything can be twisted.
After the vote Scrawny Harry raced to nearest microphone and whined like a jet engine shutting down, "You can run, but you can't hide," declared Scrawny just back from his latest crooked land deal and a 2002 war supporter. "We are going to debate Iraq." Well good because that’s what the Republicans voted for by voting against cloture – continuing debate.
Sen. RC Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, in a sycophantic effort to get a piece of Scrawny’s latest land scheme, echoed his chief’s taunt at Republicans. "If the Republicans want to stand by their president and his policy, they shouldn't run from this debate.” Well then thank goodness they stopped Democrats from cutting the debate off.
Then in a clearly conflicted story from the AP we find these two gems, “A lengthy Senate floor debate on the Iraq' name war is inevitable, despite a Republican effort to block it, Democrats say.” Then inexplicably the story goes on to say, “While Democrats are largely supportive of the Gregg measure, they want to limit debate to only two proposals…” So who is it trying to stymie the debate?
Lemesee, Republicans want to debate three resolutions, including the Democrat resolution. Democrats want to debate just two resolutions – but primarily the Democrat resolution – then cut off debate. Hmm – remembering that it is a bizzaro world for Democrats and the MSM - by offering more option to be debated, it must be those dang Republicans trying to stymie debate.
In other bizzaro news, it was -5 degrees in Ft. Wayne last night. How long can it be before the MSM headlines scream, “EXTREME COLD TEMPS OFFER PROOF OF GLOBAL WARMING”
