House Denounces "Horrors of Socialism" in Bipartisan Resolution
---------------------------------------------------------------

The House approved a bipartisan resolution Thursday to "denounce the
horrors of socialism." The nonbinding measure passed with the support of
every Republican. One hundred nine Democrats voted yes, while 86 voted
against it and 14 voted "present." Wisconsin Democrat Mark Pocan, who
voted no, said, "This resolution is plain ridiculous. It jointly
condemns Pol Pot and Norway." He accused Republicans of staging the vote
to pressure Democrats to accept cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
