Once again, it's time to get serious about challenging John Warner in 2008

Checkout this list of Republicans who voted against debating the Iraq troop surge - it may surprise you. The names include Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Thad Cochran (R-MS), John Cornyn (R-TX), Larry Craig (R-ID), Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), Pete Domenici (R-NM), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Gordon Smith (R-OR), Ted Stevens (R-AK), John Sununu (R-NH), and John Warner (R-VA).

I mean really, did shoe salesman Senator Hagel and right wing senile nut of the year John Warner actually think this wouldn't get out? Hagel can obviously only talk a good game, and Warner voting against his own bill.

Via Kos:

This was always the GOP's war, but now more than ever.

Not a single Democrat voted against cloture. Well, Harry Reid did, but that's a procedural step that allows him to bring up the legislation again at a later date. That's why we used to always see Bill Frist voting with Democrats every time the Dems defeated legislation in the the old Republican Senate. Lieberman, of course, voted with his soul mates on the wrong side of the aisle.

Republicans are so far gone on the issue, that Warner and Hagel voted to prevent debate on their own resolution.

Checkout the full roll call here, and notice that JOHN "I feel so strongly about this issue but yet can't show up to vote on it" MCCAIN (R-etarded), and RNC Chair Mel Martinez of Florida were both ABSENT!! What the hell!? I mean c'mon McCain, we all know you're delusional , but if you're going to talk such a fine game, at least show up and VOTE!
