Responding to the Republican victory in Massachusetts, Senator Jim Webb, Democrat of Virginia, is calling on Senate leaders to suspend any votes on the Democrats’ health care legislation until the winner in the special Senate election, Scott Brown, is sworn into office. In a statement, Mr. Webb, who voted for the health care bill in December, congratulated Mr. Brown on his victory and said he looked forward to working with him. But he also said Democrats must take note of the wider implications of the election results. “In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process,” Mr. Webb said. “It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated.” Top Democrats have already signaled that they do not want to rush the health care legislation through the Senate before Mr. Brown can be sworn in. Instead, they are eying a backup plan to ask House Democrats to adopt the Senate health care bill as-is, which would send it directly to President Obama for his signature. But the quick reaction by Mr. Webb, a centrist, is early evidence that Democratic leaders could find themselves struggling to hold together support for the health care measure. Backing of the bill was always tenuous, and party leaders are bracing for the possibility that Democrats who previously supported the bill may turn against it.

Tell me where he says he does this,instead of a character in a fictional story. BTW,if you don't think this type of thing is done every day you have lived a sheltered life.

No question there. He's a coward today, as his abrupt about face 22 hours after Brown's victory demonstrates conclusively. Get real. There was no physical danger if he hadn't done this. It makes him a political opportunist playing the game for bucks and power instead of patriotism,but that doesn't make him a coward. Calling him a coward for this is like calling Dennis Rodman a "hero" for playing basketball.

Try and learn what being a hero or a coward entails,and learn the difference between cowardice and opportunism.

Webb's book "Fields of Fire" is one of the best novels ever written about what it's like to be a grunt on the ground involved in conventional warfare. It's as real as it gets,and reading it makes you feel like you are right there with him as he describes what it was like for the typical young infantryman in the 1960's in Asia.

What fascinated me the most was how Webb was able to weave certain moral certitudes delineating right from wrong into situations that, at first glance, you'd believe to be wholly morally wrong. From the fragging of the one Top to the Senator's father turning the draft dodger in, the sense of "right" triumphing was compelling. A Sense of Honor was a very good book too. It captures the essence of the social conflict that was occurring as the military transformed from what it was in WWII and, to an extent, Korea, i.e. one that defined winning as killing the enemy until he submits to fighting a war in a moral way to victory which, as certain as I sit here, is an impossbility.

And that somehow involves making neutral non-judgemental observations about about fathers sticking their son's penises in their mouth. Okay, I guess it's just something you and Jim understand.
Geez, what are you doing now, trying to expound on your common interest in books that discuss homosexual incestual pedophilia? So what should have been done about Islamofascism? Turn our our heads and say it doesn't exist? Nuke the countries off the earth? Try and be friends with with them? Is it not telling that after all his bluster, Obama is essentially continuing Bush's policy?
And that somehow involves making neutral non-judgemental observations about about fathers sticking their son's penises in their mouth. Okay, I guess it's just something you and Jim understand. The one thing that is clear is that you are a clueless fool and a partisan hack who only "knows" what he is programmed to "know". What you describe is not in that book,but don't let reality intrude on your private fantasies.

Death to everybody who does not get outta my way.
Webb's books, Webb's medals, Webb working for 6 month's for Reagan before being fired, Sarah Palin's support of Juan McStain, Webb being a Republican, Webb being Democrat, Webb's mail order wife, none of that really matters when we get to the meat of Webb's record. No matter how it's spun, Webb voted for Obama's Marxist ObamaCare and everything else he's been told to by Party Central. The bottom line is grass is green, the sky is blue, and Webb ver. 2010 is a Fellow Traveling Obamabot. It has been documented, no amount of denial and nothing he did in Vietnam can erase his Senate voting record.
I'm not the one who admires a man who writes about such things.
Hang everybody in the Bush Crime Family and the RINO National Committee? Now, you're just being stupid.
Who is questioning that? Not me. Being a opportunist now doesn't mean he is a coward,though. It just means he has gotten greedy.

DET evidently forgot about the Medicare D passed by Bush.

There is no argument about that. The only question is if you recognize this to be true,why do you keep trying to slam him on those things?

Hang everybody in the Bush Crime Family and the RINO National Committee? Now, you're just being stupid. The man Boy Jorge is shown swapping spit with in the photo above is King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. A long-time friend (and most likely butt-buddy) of Boy Jorge going back to the days when he was one of the ones that bailed Boy Jorge out of bankruptcy in the oil business and then hired him as a no-show consultant to the same business he bankrupted with a 6 figure salary. He is also the man financing all the fundie Muslim mosques being built all over the world.

In his book, "A Sense of Honor," he describes the life that you have chosen. He wrote:
