Demand The House to Vote on Syria

Is there no limit to Boehner's subservience? Sources on Capitol Hill now say that if the resolution on the use of force in Syria looks as if it will lose it may not be brought up for a vote. Writing at National Review Online, John Fund;

“I just don’t believe that if defeat is certain, the House leadership will want to see a president utterly humiliated on the House floor in a public vote,” one top aide to the Republican leadership told me. Should the full Senate vote to approve an attack on Syria — as still appears somewhat likely — the battle would shift to the House. “An attempt would be made to let the whole thing go away. I don’t think it would be done to give the GOP any extra leverage in debt-ceiling or budget negotiations

Right. House Democrats were so magnanimous when they rammed through Obamacare and the President is always so so gracious and grateful. With no resounding defeat, and it would be resounding, Obama would feel free to intervene in Syria as confirmed by the Uk Daily Mail.

President Obama today refused to rule out attacking Syria without the backing of Congress, as new polls show he faces a crushing defeat in any vote in the House of Representatives.
An ABC News reporter at the G20 meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, tried to pin him down and get a 'direct response' to the question of what he will do if his gamble seeking congressional approval fails.
'I'm not going to engage in parlor games now ... about whether or not it's going to pass,' he said.
'You're not getting a direct response.'
But while he acknowledged knowing his Syria gambit with Congress was 'going to be a heavy lift' all along, the president insisted that he didn't 'put this before Congress just as a political ploy or as symbolism.'
'I put it before Congress because I could not honestly claim that the threat posed by Assad's use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians and women and children posed an imminent, direct threat to the United States.'

We must demand an up or down vote and if Boehner cannot deliver that maybe the man who takes his place can. Now is not the time to pull a punch.
