I have been here since 98 as well. Charlie Rangel WILL defund miltary spending, in order to move it to HIS pet projects.

I have nothing more to say to you.

Miss Marple, please at least pretend you can shut out extremist elements to comprehend the following 5 points:

1. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution prevents anyone to totally "defunding" the military as words such as "establish and maintain" a Navy are clearly defined.
2. Although we may not like Charlie Rangel the Democrat, Private Charles Rangle was once a soldier in the Korean War where he was wounded (Purple Heart) and cited to valor (Bronze Star) while fighting for his country.
3. Despite all of their lying rhetoric to their base, the Dims WON'T pack up in leave the Iraq portion of the GWOT should they capture control of Congress next month, because to do so would give them no issue to castigate Bush with or run against the GOP in '08; so, IMHO, it could just be the GOP who decides to leave Iraq before the job is done. IOW, no Iraq=no issue, and besides we know they have no other ideas.
4. Whether it is Democrats or Republicans in office the GWOT will be going on at least as long as the 60-year Cold War and probably won by our grandchildren.
5. Finally, Charlie Rangle and the Dims in all likelihood can only capture the House (thanks in part to GOP members like Mark Foley and Bob Ney); the Senate will likely remain in GOP hands to check and balance the House, and, even it it did turn over, there aren't enough Dims to do anything damaging due to the Senate's super majority rule.
