Fighting has already broken-out in the House. Two congresspeople -- one D, the other R -- traded verbal blows today over the Dems' already unmasked pre-election lies.
Cool.
Yep.
When oil hits $30 barrel, the Iran regime is screwed.
The same strategy that finished Russia.
W has over 700 days left in his term.
Patience, all.
Unfortunately, though, Bush has no desire to make it difficult for the Dems.
Is there a source for this?
That's my feeling, too. In addition, while the Dems are crowing, things really aren't going to be much different from the way they were - the Dems, with their RINO buddies, made sure little of Bush's agenda got done before, in any case. Now it's just more obvious, but perhaps it will also be easier for Bush to fight it now that it's out in the open.
Dems are pretending they have a mandate. Ha! Nothing further from the truth. They can demand all they want. They will never get the votes they need to accomplish much of anything.
Yep. And many will be surprised...again.
Reminds me of that commercial where a vehicle turns the vibrations from the radio into a means to move other vehicles to the side, to allow parking.
The tax cuts NEED TO STOP BEING CALLED THAT. They are THE TAX RATE. Any change to them is a tax increase. The Democrats succeeded in getting them declared temporary. The GOP strategy needs to be EXACTLY THE SAME. Any suspension of "the tax rate" needs to be configured as temporary.
If they let the "cuts" expire, that expiration must pushed by the GOP to be, itself, temporary.
This was a huge mistake by the GOP. The rates should have been compromised with, not the duration. When the Democrats managed to get RINO cooperation in resisting the cuts, the rates should have been what was traded, not the duration. Now the Democrats can get a tax increase without voting for one. This was insane and needs to be attacked in the same way, but proposing that expiration itself be temporary.
He is saying nothing but announcing this and that position is filled. It's like he is a baseball team owner: treat it like a business where results count and nobody cares to listen to justification of every management decision.
I think that's it, essentially. Nancy Pelosi's coronation was bizarre. They were acting as if they thought that we no longer had a President (Bush) and she had just stepped in to take his place. But I think they're waaayyyy overplaying their hand.
Amen. Time to pray for our president as never before.
Big assumption since Bush has no testicles for standing up against them! Nancy owns them now!
He can.
The question is WILL he?
I hope he has sharpened up his veto pen.
Isn't that exactly what they are doing today? What about the letter from Pelosi and Reid urging Bush not to send more troops to Iraq? What about Obama coming out today opposing more troops in Iraq? What about the Democrats urging Bush to begin planning to remove troops?
They aren't hiding behind anything.
