That is the BAD NEWS..

The House committee had already voted for Bush's program and voted for it overwhelmingly....

They were supposed to take it to the House floor and get the whole House to vote on it this week...but, it was a HUGE vote for Bush's progam.

Well...I heard yesterday, that NOW the House Reps are backing off..and have sent the bill back to the House Judiciary Committee for further deliberations..and that there may NOT be a vote at all until "maybe" NEXT week, which is the last week before the break for the elections.

IOW...someone SPOOKED the House GOP who WERE all lined up on Bush's side.

Don't know who or why...but, it NOW puts McCain and Stooges in better shape in the Senate...

Read it and weep gang.

Jimmy Carter urges U.S. citizens abroad to vote

miamiherald

WASHINGTON - Former President Jimmy Carter, convinced the November election carries ''momentous historical importance'' to the U.S. image abroad, is urging Americans overseas to cast their ballots. Carter, the first honorary chair of Democrats Abroad, a group that encourages U.S. residents living overseas to continue to participate in elections, said in a telephone interview Monday that his travels have revealed ''consternation, disappointment, sometimes animosity and embarrassment'' toward the United States -- aimed particularly at the war in Iraq and the Guantánamo Bay detention center, which some European allies have called for closing.
