Iraq War Senate Resolution Watch: Take the Pledge Part III

Readers: Please Vote in Flap’s January 2008 GOP Presidential Poll

Hugh Hewitt: Memo To The Hill: Take Off The Beltway Earmuffs

It’s not “nearly 10,000” signatures. It’s 16,000+ signatures.

And while your reporter couldn’t get a comment from the NRSC, the NRSC’s Chairman John Ensign was interviewed at length, by me, on yesterday’s program and the transcript posted on the web.

In fact, over the past 40 hours, I have conducted five interviews with Republican senators on the absurd dance of the resolutions underway in the Senate: Norm Coleman, John Cornyn, John Ensign, Jon Kyl and John Thune. All the transcripts are posted. Together they provide the most comprehensive coverage of the Republican internal debate over how the war will supported or the enemy encouraged. The posts at my site, Powerline, Instapundit, CaptainsQuarters, Misha, RightWingNews, Blackfive etc are a systematic and serious discussion of the war and the consequences that would flow from the embrace of any defeatist memorandum from the Senate, even one signed on to by the previously reliable-on-the-war John McCain.

Now it is, 16,712 and is increasing as Flap writes.

Flap heard Senator Ensign’s interview yesterday. The good Senator from neighboring Nevada has alot of work to do to persuade Flap and other conservatives to EVER contribute to a national GOP committee again. He was not impressive – so why bother?

Hugh has a new contact list. It is difficult to call the Senate offices but please keep trying. It seems if you are not from the Senator’s particular state they really don’t give a darn. Pretty poor treatment of fellow Americans in my book – but Flap is taking notes and will make sure none of my time or money will EVER aid those particular politicians for ANYTHING again.

The List:

Please tell the candidates in the ’08 cycle especially –Alexander, Collins, Coleman and Smith and would be presidential nominees McCain and Brownback—that a vote for the Warner resolution is the end of support for them and the NRSC.
