GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...

[Morgan in Denver]

Don't get me wrong, but Frist is sucking hind teat. He failed to do this in the Senate and the House is giving him a lesson in leadership.

[prairiebreeze]

OK, dinner over and dishes done. Are we still waiting for a vote?

did I miss anything??

[Soul Seeker]

Wrong perspective.

During Vietnam America was silent and let our troops be dishonored.

This time around we're speaking out and Congress, our House, is rising up to defend our troops.

THAT is worth a sense of pride. That is progress.

[LisaFab]

Right. But their talking point is:

"This resolution is not 'Murtha's Resolution'; his provided for the safety of our withdrawing troops."

[LS]

Exactly what I said about 200 posts ago---the Dems are on a sooo-eeeee-cide watch. They CANNOT vote against the troops, but if they vote "for" the war, that kills any chance they have for impeaching Bush (there was no chance anyway, but it symbolically means that such an option is dead) AND it probably kills their fundraising/volunteer work at home for 2006.

Folks, I'm not joking when I say this vote may add 30 seats to our side of the aisle next year!!!

Murtha on Hardball: "Victory is not a strategy."

Is there any context for what the heck he means? In a literal sense, vitory is a goal, not a strategy. But tucking tail and running seems to be the strategy he's advocating.

Anyone know Murtha's age? The onset of dementia could explain his supposedly sudden change in behavior. On the other hand, so could a nice, healthy bribe -- er, contribution -- from Left/Dem power brokers.

Please send me Post 49 poster "Hey Democrats and RINOS" in a private FReepmail. Thanks mucho!

[eleni121]

Chairmanship. That's it.

Too bad Murth is going down in the dustbin of history.

[Howlin]

Yes, ma'am. I just heard him say it myself.

And I feel the same way about in inlaws!

[GRRRRR]

THREAD SUMMARY--For those who don't have time to read 1800 posts...!!

GOP TO DEMS: OK, let's have a vote on immediate withdrawal from IRAK.

DEMS: Arrrrgh, yark...errrr, spittle, duh, what?, whine, drool, yell, jump upn down, yeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh

GOP to DEMS: OK, that's what we thought. We vote tonight, be there or be square.

[golas1964]

The House is in recess. When the vote happens it will be on C-Span1.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Just joined. What's happened so far?

[old_sage_says]

This thread is moving faster than Matthews' mouth, except there's no spit on it.

[Windcatcher]

The worst part is that they're not against the concept of the Union, of a United States of America. They are, however, rabidly against *this* America, where Socialism (and for many, Communism) are absent. Communists like Joe Stalin were never content to simply live within their borders with their chosen system, and the modern Left is no different. He wanted World Communism, and so do they. Even were we to split up, they would no doubt attempt to force their beliefs on the rest of us. The mentality of leftist professors is indicative of the mindset -- they are incapable of peacefully coexisting with those who disagree with them.

We could resurrect Preston Brooks and see if some relative of Charles Sumner is around for him to cane.

Best idea I have heard in a long time. I'm sure Swimmer has family connections to the odious Sumner.

nothing yet....they are waiting on everyone to get off work!

[BunnySlippers]

What channel?

[BlessedByLiberty]

"He just said it again: 80 percent of the people want us out of there."

Someone should tell Murtha that DU is not 80% of the people.
