This really sucks--Justin Amash turns out to be a neocon!

This is was a list of the votes whether to pull out of Afghanistan:

Heh, are you really surprised?

I’d say I’m a little surprised.

Really? Why’s that?

Here’s an explanation straight from Amash’ Facebook page:

Here’s the roll call for Amend. 232, which defunds Afghanistan ops. It was not a policy bill to end the war. I would support that. Instead, it cut funding to a level that Rep. Nadler (D-NY-08) claimed would allow for safe withdrawal. His word cannot be the final analysis for a new Rep, and it wouldn’t have been if I didn’t have 600 other amendments to review. I voted no. “Present” is for genuine procedural concerns.

I’d love to hear Amash’s definition of “safe withdrawal”.

That’s great news. Thank Goad.
