I have been watching...just now got to my computer.
I am listening to Petraeus on C-span 3...I have Byrd muted.
No need to hear the same speech for the 20th time about how Bush lied...as he lies about what Bush really has said.
Bah...Landrieu makes me sick to listen to her...she was up the other day complaining about money for “first responders”...I have news for her...the first responders in New Orleans (read NAGIN)...let those people down by not using those BUSES!!!
I find it interesting how the Dems are USING both Petraeus AND the ISG in their attempts to shape the debate...when we ALL know, they are only cherry picking from both what Petraeus has said AND what the ISG said.
Brownback up sounding like he was just dropped in from outer space saying HE wants Federalism and just to TELL the Iraqs to split up...he and Biden need to go back to watching cartoons.
dang, was opining on another stand alone thread,
Hey you old coot .. Congress does not have authority to run the military
If you hate the war .. then cut off the damn funding

McCain calls for Gonzo to resign....he has felt that way “for a long time, but didn’t say anything because I wasn’t asked”...
Real strong guy there....doesn’t he see that what HE just did is what the DEMS would do to HIS people IF he won the Presidency???
Tell me how much of a joke is it that they stuck the Minimum Wage increase into the Conference report????
BINGO!
and thank goodness I have to leave for school now because this old coot has me yelling .. grrrr
They did it because they know the Prsident will veto the bill and then they can blame it on Bush
It's all for PR
LOL...I didn’t know there was a stand alone thread..I am so used to coming to this thread.
I just saw them discussing how much time is left...and someone said 53 minutes.
I thought they were going to debate this all day...why so short of time??
get the vote out quick so it is in tonight’s debate fodder prepped by the drive by media
Oh...good grief, now we have Patty Obama Mama Murry up talking about New Orleans...sheesh
Liebermann is giving a speech for the decades
It is so easy to point out the insanities in this proposal, you have to wonder why it took so long, but Liberman is getting the job done.
man Liebermann just threw a trot line full of hooks on the democrats and I mean a a bunch.Then he backed up each point book chapter and verse.
I am listening to Petraeus still...but I have closed captioning on Lieberman’s speech.
Petraeus is talking about how there are cities where life is going on more or less like here...with soccer fields getting watered...people eating out at restaurants.
He said these visions are so foreign to Americans because all they see is the bombings on TV every night.
btw.as a trained mktg eye.Liebermann is WAY less nasal
in his passion than when seated opposite a camera
They are going to vote at 12:45 ET.
I have no idea why...unless they need to get going on yet another LONG weekend!!
Here comes Mr. Maudlin.
Oh..goody, Durbin is going to give sob stories of injured and killed troops.
Would these be the same troops that you called torturers, DICK????
Rmember, tonight is the first democrat debate, aired on the notorious MSNBC; Hillary, Barrack, Biden et al must have time to prepare for that appearance this evening. Thus, the early vote. Just guessing, but that would be my take.
