What a lovely piece of journalism. The author completely overlooked an explanation of what happens if there is no vote. If Boehner doesn't allow a vote, does Obama have carte blanche to do what he pleases?

It's a lot harder to do vote fraud when only 435 votes can be cast. So why doesn't he give a good explanation why the vote will be so close if the overwhelming majority of the American voters are against intervention in Syria? Why doesn't he explain all the other pressures the legislators are feeling now? From AIPAC, from the banksters, from the Defense Contractors, and others? Why doesn't he explain that these other pressures are what nullifies the will of the people?

Other than that, it was a pretty good journalistic endeavor.

if I am reading this right, he is urging repuublicans, that would normally oppose Obama, to skip the vote

now, if the vote only requires a majority to win

and they remove these "non-voters" from the count, then the democrats have a much greater chance of passing this Syrian attack bill, even with much smaller numbers
