When Hypocrites controlled Congress

I know no one needs to be reminded that in order to be a Republican means first of all, you have to be a hypocrite. But, it's always a pleasure for me to point out another example of this hypocrisy from them.

As you know, we've heard a lot of criticism lately coming from the 'defeated' and 'shamed' minority party about how useless 'non-binding' resolutions are. Well guess what the Republican dominated 104th Congress did to Bill Clinton in 1995? You guessed it: they passed a non-binding resolution on Bosnia in an effort to prevent him doing what they now say Bush has the right to do as 'Commander-in-Chief'.

I know you're not surprised, but at least now you know.

Clinton has said he would commit up to 25,000 U.S. troops, under NATO command, to help enforce a Bosnian agreement. But by a vote of 315-103 Monday night, the House passed a non-binding resolution telling Clinton, in effect, he should not presume that American soldiers will enforce a Bosnian peace deal. Non-binding resolution H Res 247 10/31/95

When asked recently what he thought of the non-binding resolution on Iraq, here's how the 'republic's' House Minority leader, John Boehner replied, "If you're not for victory in Iraq, you're for failure."

Yeah, you guessed it: Boehner voted for the 1995 non-binding resolution.
