Democrats remain stalled on Iraq debate(0 FOR 40 (!) ON STOPPING IRAQ WAR)
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1107/6845.html ^

As the congressional session lurches toward a close, Democrats are confronting some demoralizing arithmetic on Iraq.

The numbers tell a story of political and substantive paralysis more starkly than most members are willing to acknowledge publicly, or perhaps even to themselves.

Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy.

Only one of those has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats. That one was vetoed by Bush.

After reading that article on Politico, and studying the pic of Pelosi and Reid, I have come to the conclusion that I must RETHINK my Position on all the ROSWELL UFO STUFF.

The only way to stop them is to remove their power.

zero for 40.

In baseball we used to call going zero for 5 the Olympic Rings. The DummieRats just did it 8 games in a row?

Just darn.

Has it really been that many? Holy crap someone needs to put a nickel on the needle.

This vote was all for show to provide cover for Hillary. There was an editorial in the Seattle Times about how the Democrats were caught between a rock and a hard place because there far left base is demanding action on stopping the war and the rest of their voters want to see some kind of real action on domestic issues, including the budget. Edwards and Obama have been using this disconnect to accuse Hillary of not being strong enough to stand up to the Bush administration.
