Bowing to President Bush, the Democratic-controlled Congress grudgingly approved fresh billions for the Iraq war Thursday night, minus the troop withdrawal timeline that drew his earlier veto.

bow low Democrats.

I’d heard that the minimum wage increase was tied to this bill. Is that true?

[PetroniusMaximus]

Hopefully low enough to lick the mud off our troop’s boots.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, moonbats.

Democrats bowing to President George W. Bush and our troops.

Democrats also won a top priority — the first minimum wage increase in more than a decade. The current federal wage floor of $5.15 an hour will go to $7.25 in three installments of 70 cents.

Sometimes, if you read the article before you post, you discover that you don't have to post at all.

They are the kings of GUTTER POLITICS....they can’t go much lower!

God Bless our Troops. Let Freedom Ring!

[dighton]

Amen.

n exchange for providing the war money on Bush's terms, Democrats won White House approval for about $17 billion in spending above what the administration originally sought.

I approve of a semi-temporary war expenditure but the other increases are for all intents and purposes permanent I guess.

The headline COULD read....

“HILLARY VOTES AGAINST FUNDING TROOPS!!!”

Victory is Ours. Terrorist lose.

[AmericanMade1776]

Victory is ours, Terrorist and Hillary lose!

"This is not a game. They run out of money next week," said Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record) of Pennsylvania, whose speech opposing Bush's Iraq policy more than a year ago was a turning point in the debate.

Murtha's a stupid, idiotic old fool. HE and his fellow morons in the Democrat Party are the ones who made this a "game" by clowning around with timetables they knew Pres. Bush would never accept. It's THEIR fault the money's running out. They're spinning so fast I'm surprised their heads don't fall off.

“HILLARY VOTES AGAINST MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE!!!”

[calcowgirl]

rofl! :-)

[Shadowstrike]

what’s the catch?
With the Dems, there is always a catch.

[digger48]

They're spinning so fast I'm surprised their heads don't fall off.

Probably because their heads are planted so firmly in their asses

[AmericanMade1776]

Murtha looks silly in Pink surrender, almost as silly as Harry Reid.
