The Continuing Betrayal By Blue Dogs

Did DINO Ben Chandler win the repug primary in Kentucky's Sixth District? Why not? He's such a loyal repug vote.

Down with Tyranny:

For those who keep track of this sort of detail, Barbara Lee (D-CA) introduced an amendment (Friday) to end the occupation of Afghanistan. Cosponsored by John Conyers (D-MI), Walter Jones (R-NC), Peter Welch (D-VT) and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), Lee's amendment would have ended the war in Afghanistan "by limiting funding to the safe and orderly withdrawal of U.S. troops and military contractors from Afghanistan." It failed 113-303. Most Democrats-- 101 of them-- voted YES, to end the pointless occupation. They were joined by 12 Republicans. But 79 Democrats crossed the aisle to voted with Boehner and Cantor. Any interest in knowing which side your congresscritter was on? All the names are listed on the link above.

John Yarmuth, D-KY3, voted to end the war. Benny Boy joined all of Kentucky's repug reps in voting to keep it going. Remember that the next time a Kentuckian dies to make Wall Street richer.
