George Voinovich: Doesn't Care

No matter what Republican Sen. George Voinovich says about ending Bush's war in Iraq, you must remember that Voinovich talks but is spineless when it comes to doing something to end the war.

The Lantern:
Republican Sen. George Voinovich has joined a growing number of Republicans countering the White House policy by calling for a transition to a diplomatic and humanitarian solution to the Iraq war.

Last week, however, Voinovich voted along party lines against a motion to invoke cloture that would end debate on a Democratic amendment to begin to reduce the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq.

In a press release after the vote, Voinovich said the political turmoil surrounding the war in Iraq has hindered substantial debate on solutions to stabilize Iraq....
.....Ohio State political science professor John Mueller said Voinovich is less likely to be concerned about immediate political ramifications of a controversial vote because he is not facing an election in 2008....

In other words, Voinovich doesn't care how many Americans get killed in Iraq because he isn't up for election. What a jerk.
