Gene Taylor did it again

A couple of weeks ago the House voted on, and passed, a bill that would fund the illegal war on the Sovereign Nation of Iraq and the millions of innocent Iraqi civilians. As expected it didn't pass in the Senate. Needless to say our two neo-con Senators voted against it. That was to be expected.

As a Democrat I would expect Gene Taylor to vote more in line with his party. However he has proved over and over again that he does not, and despite his rhetoric that he supports the troops his voting record says other wise. In my opinion anybody that votes against a bill that is designed to remove our troops from harms way does not support the troops. This is particularly important when were are pulling them out of a country where we were never wanted. This bill also contained two prominent provisions - one predicated the funding on the immediate start of troop withdrawals from Iraq; the second prominent provision was that the Army adhere to its own published regulations that prohibit torture.

It is apparent to me that Gene Taylor wants to keep the troops in Iraq until hell freezes over and that he believes in torture.

Here is a link to a synopsis of the aforementioned bill as summarized by the Library of Congress.
