Not Voting - 3
Brownback (R-KS) Johnson (D-SD) Vitter (R-LA)
From Thinkprogress:
The Senate just voted 56 to 44 on Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) amendment “requiring that active-duty troops and units have at least equal time at home as the length of their previous tour overseas.” The bill failed to garner the 60 votes needed to move forward
When the legislation was considered in July, the vote was 56 to 41. Sens. Sam Brownback (R-KS) and David Vitter (R-LA), who didn’t vote in July, today voted against the legislation. Sen. John Warner (R-VA) switched his July vote, also voting against the bill today. Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) voted “yea.”

Thanks for your effort, Senator Webb!

Nothing like voting to keep families first cough,cough the GOP platform.
I'm starting to wonder what the hell was Gore thinking with having the Lickerman as his running mate. Was that another Daddy Bush / Quayle anti-assassination strategy? In other words, no one was going to take out Daddy Bush because that would have put Quayle in charge. Had Gore become president, no one would have tried to do anything to him 'cause that would have put the nightmare in charge.
Now we know who really supports the troops. It's like these guys don't care if all of them die in Iraq. FYI 3 soldiers died to in Iraq.
