WABC radio news characterizing the vote in the senate asthe republicans not allowing a debate on the Iraq war.

clo·ture (kl?'ch?r)

n.

A parliamentary procedure by which debate is ended and an immediate vote is taken on the matter under discussion. Also called closure. ,P. tr.v., -tured, -tur·ing, -tures. To apply cloture to (a parliamentary debate).

*****

What part of Republicans voted NO can the DNCmedia not grasp? A YES vote is a vote to end debate!!!!!!

Gadzook. We were taught about cloture in 4th grade social studies. "How a bill becomes a law," etc. Don't American public schools teach this basic stuff, anymore? Apparently not. But just ask 'em about putting condoms on cucumbers.

Ok, Pat, here's my only point I disagree with you on:

Bush just lets it ride on by and now we've got the Dems OPENLY speculating on how to cause our military a slow bleed.

Bush alone versus the dems? What about the rest of us? Clinton did the same. But Carville, Penneta, Lany Davis, and a hundred more were there every second with a pro-Clinton, anti-Republican sound bite, and full of piss, vinegar and fire, too. Where are ours?

It's worse when a Republican does it because that gives the Democrats political cover - i.e., "bipartisanship." All the news reports are now saying "a bipartisan" resolution.

On the initial cloture vote a few weeks ago, 46 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted for the Democrats. 1 Democrat and 47 Republicans voted against the Democrats Iraqi Resolution. AP, which is the primary new source for both Published and Broadcast news, ran their story as "Republicans block Bi- Partisan Iraq Resolution" No matter what happens in DC the US "News" Media will simply censor out any facts that do not validate their preconceived political dogmas.

The truth is simple: THERE ARE MORE OF US THEN THERE ARE OF THEM, and if we stuck together, we would NEVER LOSE.

We are a house divided.

Its ridiculous, especially when I we have to do to EVENTUALLY get everything we want, is to shutup and vote to win.

I learned more about government watching Schoolhouse Rock (I'm Just A Bill and others) as a kid than I did in class. Really.

Yes, 1988 his VERY LAST State of the Union he did that.

Fine, those are the circumstances, but your ABSOLUTE statement that he NEVER attacked them directly is disproved. You make valid arguements just don't make absolute statements.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He never went out and attacked them directly. .... but he NEVER went directly head to head an attacked the Congress leadership on a personal level ...

PD, when the president, his administration and the Republican party do not respond to repeated attacks after awhile the public starts to believe the attacks and also to naturally consider that the folks mentioned above are weak.

In American politics this is not the fault of anyone else but the ones that have the place, the power and the opportunity to fight back. If the aformentioned people cannot overcome the noise generated by the MSM with the assets they have then they have simply done a bad job. Especially in this age of new communication platforms.

Remember when there were conservatives at screaming during the ballot issues in Florida? What about "Sore Loserman"? "Get out of Cheney's house"? Or what about the Swift Boaters?

All these things were done by a small group of people determined to change things. Usually with no help from the administration. So I'm not agreeable to the notion that people with all sorts of tools at their disposal can't get themselves organized to get their messages out.

Hope all turned out well for your family and friends. Katrina was an epic disaster. Unfortunately, the Dems decided to jump all over it and bash the Gov't for not having an "Unexpected Natural Disaster of Epic Proportions" plan in place. Sadly, GWB never responded to the Dems charging him with fault. [He did respond with BILLIONS of dollars!] As you pointed out, the fault lay primarily with the Mayor of NO and the Governor of LA. They had adequate notice and the means to evacuate, but didn't. And then they try to transfer the blame to GWB and then make him pay for it with OPM. [Other People's Money.]

A tornado strikes without warning. A hurricane gives much time to prepare and to leave. New Orleans did neither.

Will keep you posted on the Ramos-Compean transcript. It is harder to read than your hyperlinks. No...it's not that hard!
