Congress votes to restore funding to Cheney’s office

Posted on July 13th, 2007 by vicezilla

WTF? Is congress in need of a spine, or does Cheney have some dirt on the Democrats in Congress? I mean really!

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate and the author of a bill funding the White House budget and other agencies, had refused to fund the vice president’s $4.8 million budget, arguing that Cheney’s office is refusing to comply with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information.

Senator Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat, for some unknown reason switched his position from a subcommittee vote last Tuesday! In two days he went from a yea, to a nay! Interesting.

The Democrats let another opportunity pass by to put the screws to Cheney by losing the vote 15-14! Nice work Nelson.

I hope your constituents make a note of your spinelessness and remember it come Election Day!
