Rep. Inglis just betrayed every military man, every citizen, and especially all those Republicans who voted for him:
http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/16719936.htmWeak-kneed, fair-weather, cowardly GOP 'support' like this for the President, the WOT, our country's security, and our military is WHY we had that traitorous travesty of a vote in the House yesterday. Where in the HELL are the cohones that Rebpublicans used to be famous for? Ronald Reagan is SPINNING in his grave.
Inglis says, "I saw this vote as a vote of conscience, rather than a vote of representation. I consciously tried to disregard the political consequences." Since when does Inglis's conscience outweigh that of his constituents? What he really means is that he's a coward and doesn't have the stomach for tough fights. And/or, Bob Inglis is just a traitorous opportunist and looking for any reason to sell out his countrymen. Inglis might as well convert to the Democrat party and be done with it, he's clearly a Republican in name only.
My own Congressperson, Shelley Moore Capito, voted against the resolution, but then said in her newsletter "I agreed with it, but didn't want it to be used by Dems as a stepping stone to denying funds for our soldiers." I sent her an email asking her why she thinks her constituents want a dishonest, lying representative? I asked her, if she wants to surrender to the terrorists she should just come out and do so by voting her 'conscience'.
I also told her, as I mentioned above, it's precisely her kind of mealy-mouthed, fence-sitting cowardice by supposedly GOP members that created the anti-surge resolution, and most of our problems in Iraq.
I further told Ms. Moore, and I'll say the same now to Mr. Inglis, that should Democrats and their traitorous GOP partners on this non-binding resolution have their way and force us out of Iraq, the death spree and further Islamofascist bloodshed that will then ensue will be squarely on their heads.
Just like Vietnam, the gutless politicians are well on their way to selling out American ideals, soldiers, US allies, and freedom for their own personal political gain.
Bob Inglis, you sir are a traitor, to this country, to your constituents, to the GOP, and most importantly to our soldiers. Your betrayal will not be forgotten and we true Americans will do our best to see you and your kind removed from power, forever.
Adios MF,
Doug
