Thread: Big News... Voinivich a NO !

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has just reported that Sen. Voinovich (R-Ohio) is going to vote NO on the bill. He had been the Republican thought most likely to support the bill. But get a load of this:

"I'm disappointed that Majority Leader (Harry) Reid and Senate Democrats have chosen to turn the Defense authorization bill - crucial legislation for our troops in a time of war - into a messaging bill," Voinovich said in a prepared statement this morning. "Just as I said with my decision to support the small business bill, this is not a time for messaging from either side of the aisle."

He strongly opposed including the amnesty in the Defense bill.
