House Passes Responsible Redeployment From Iraq Act

This evening The House passed the Responsible Redeployment From Iraq Act by 223-201 (roll call is HERE.) This is a remarkable improvement over the McGovern amendment, which only had 171 votes for withdrawal in May, and even represents an improvement over the more moderate Iraq Accountability Act, which passed the House with 218 Yeas. While we're making some progress convincing more members to support withdrawal, we're still well short of the point at which Mr. 26%'s veto pen will cease to be a factor.

Republicans voting Yea:

Reps. Duncan, Emerson, Gilchrest, Jones (N.C.)

Democrats voting Nay:

Reps. Barrow, Boren, Carney, Ellsworth, Holden, Kucinich, Marshall, Matheson, Snyder, Taylor

Representatives not voting:

Berkley, Conyers, Cubin, Davis, Jo Ann, Jindal, Paul, Tancredo, Young (AK)
