The resolution authorizing military action in Syria is in danger of failing in Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday.

Speaking in his home state of South Carolina, the Republican senator said he has serious doubts that Congress will back President Obama’s call for strikes.

“I think if the vote were taken right now, it would be too close to call in the Senate, [and] would surely lose in the House,” he told reporters after speaking to constituents, according to The Greenville News.

Don't let up on your congressmen, keep the pressure on.

Has that disgusting statist toad ever met a war he didn't like?

 

[mad cow]

If this fails in the Senate,will it still be voted on in the House?
I want all these @#$%^ on record,especially those up for reelection in 2014.

Don't stop until it's dead and buried in the ground with a ton of concrete poured on it. Let Obama own this coming mess all on his own. The next question is would Congress do anything if he goes ahead and bombs them anyway? If it weren't for all the innocent people who were going to be killed, this would be political theater at it's finest.

Even though my congressman stated to a local media site that he was going to vote against it, I'm contacting other local media newspapers and asking them to contact the congressman's office and verify this report and write a story including it so that their readership can learn how their representative is going to vote.

Trust but verify and then make sure everyone and their brother verifies.

Was just watching a report and remembered with Kosovo Clinton only waited for the senate to vote and the day after launched attacks by the time the House voted the strikes where already under way and the House ended up in a tie, but the vote was completely disregarded by Clinton. Obama could make the argument that, that event set a precedent that he is working under.

Mine is undecided. He's running for governor so I think he will go with the winning side to avoid messing up his campaign. The other Maine congresswoman is leaning no and unlikely to change.

It's up to 204 no and leaning no now. 13 to go, I can't see a drastic shift in the undecideds so this is looking dead in the house.

One changed from yes to no.

That was wag the dog for Monica and the Serbs paid the price. Kind of like Obama with the NSA and Benghazi. Not a good precedent.
