Harry Reid is threatening to cut off Iraqi war funds, unless Bush
agrees to begin withdrawing troops.

Where have I heard that before? :eyes:

P.S. -- I never thought I would ever say this. Additionally, I never thought I'd even come to feel this way.

The faith is gone. The trust is gone. Pfft. Dust in the wind.

2. At the very least, Senate Dems need a new leader
We have a "majority leader" in name only -- we need a leader in that chanber who will "crack the whip" and ACT like a majority leader.

And Pelosi may have to go too ...

5. He Sure Knows How To Give Himself Cover
Say you demand something, then let him have everything he wants. Then when your constituents get pissed at you, you can claim you tried.

6. Wake me when the threat actually turns into action.
I have ZERO confidence the Democratic leadership is willing to go out on a limb to end the war. They don't want the Republicans to be mad at them.

15. It would be so
good if they went through with it instead of this endless drainage on life and our funds for making our country stronger..instead of cowering to bushit.

12. If this article is true, he's cutting deals to fund the military, not the war.

So they can say, WE SUPPORT THE TROOPS.

http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/11/reid_allowed_vote_on_mukasey_in_exchange_for_military_funding_bill.php

The way things change in D.C., everything could be different now, but I don't believe that big ole scarey Harry will do anything BUT make deals that cover his pasty butt.


:grr: :grr:

17. I'm sure Bush is quivering in his booties. Why not threaten to take away his pretzels?

18. But but but we need to keep our powder DRY
So we have something AFTER Bush has invaded another country and congress is told about it 6 months later by accident after sending angry letters to the regime about why they want a trillion in small unmarked non-sequential bills to be loaded onto airplanes.

19. I expected the end of your subject to go: "cut off Iraq war funds unless Bush...
says 'Boo!'"
