A BRIEF SUMMARY OF RECENT SENATE VOTES. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION

1. Vote To Bring The Troops Home: a majority favors the measure, but because there's no veto-proof/filibuster-proof super-majority, the Dems take the measure off the table, never bothering to dare the President to explain his veto, or forcing the GOPers to shut down congress with a showboating filibuster.

2. Vote To Restore The Writ Of Habeus Corpus For "Enemy Combatants": see 1, above.

3. Vote To "Condemn" Move-On.org For It's Scurrilous, Scandalous, Spurious, Libelous, Temeritous, Outrageousous, And Americahatingous Ad Calling General Petraeus "General Betray Us": A smashing victory in favor, with an easy super-majority of 73 votes.

Still think the Dems are "fighting for us"?
