The South Dakota MSM is not pointing out Tim Johnson’s decision to side with the Democrat’s cut and run plan for Iraq by not disclosing his vote yesterday:
Democrats, meanwhile, were split yesterday, with most instead for a nonbinding "sense of the Senate" resolution by Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat, calling for a phased pullout of troops from Iraq, starting Dec. 31, without specifying an end date.
It lost on a 60-39 vote, mostly along party lines. Six Democrats broke with their party to oppose it and one Republican -- Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, who is up for re-election -- broke from his party to support it.
Tim Johnson was not among the six Democrats who broke ranks.
Hal Lindsey has strong words for Johnson and his Democrat colleagues (plus Lincoln Chafee):
I believe this is what 39 senators did when they voted in favor of the Feingold-Levy amendment demanding a withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Iraqi battlefield.
There is not a single member of the Senate who is incapable of grasping what such a vote means to the enemy. Here is how it translates to our enemies: "We are only 12 Senate votes away from winning the war with the Great Satan."
It is more than disingenuous; it is deliberately dishonest to say that such an action does not give aid and comfort to the enemy. Indeed, the practice of granting aid and comfort to the enemy in order to disgrace the sitting administration is so prevalent that it even has an acronym – ACE.
The politicians who voted to advance their party's interests not only knew they were voting against the bests interests of America's war effort, they also knew they were increasing the risks our soldiers in the field face. Why? Because their vote encourages the enemy to fight harder since they believe victory is in sight.
