What I don't understand is that if Amidala was going to vote against the creation of the Republic Army, why did Jar-Jar propose it?? If he was going to stand in for her, he should have gone along with her wishes, not his own!!!

Sure Amidala was dead set against the Republic having an army because she was sure that it would provoke the Seperatists into war. But it became obvious toward the end of the film that the Seperatists wanted war anyway; that war was unavoidable. When the new Clone army showed up in the nick of time to save her butt and that of the surviving Jedi in the arena, she didn't say, "No, no, this isn't right, we should talk not fight", she fought alongside the army that she had opposed (though she hadn't known about any clone army when she returned to Coruscant for the vote.) Likewise, it was clear to the senators in Palpatine's office after hearing Obi-Wan's report that war was unavoidable, that the Seperatists were preparing to attack the Republic. So it was just as clear to Jar Jar that at that point war was necessary.
