This is the problem as far as I am concerned! The President and those elected officials have forgotten why they are there and have been seduced by the money and power and for the most part don’t give a damn about the American people. If anybody cared that border would have been secured right after 911!But then you have to remember there are many Americans who complain but never do anything about. I wish we had term limits just so Kennedy could go for a long swim!

Proof positive this bill is horse appples of the huighest order.

Since when did you guys trust the treason party to do the right thing on the WOT?

Tell you one thing, Saudios are a 1000% more reliable than Treasonrats.

But don’t you know the ONLY way to win the WOT is to anger every Muslim and their grandmothers and to leave all our allies to the wolves regardless of how helpful they are to us?

WTF??? We’ve been sending them AID???? In addition to the BILLIONS they get for their oil? Good Lord.

And the thing is, that money doesn't come from nowhere. Somewhere in America, some family had to do without so they could pay their taxes to Uncle Sam, only to have it peed away, given away, or squandered in the most indefensible ways (like giving "aid" to an insanely wealthy country).

Saudi Arabis is in debt to international bankers to the tune of $175 billion, as of 2 years ago. The poor beggars are suffering a trade deficit.

[DesScorp]

Of all the examples of mind-blowing government stupidity, this has to rank right up there at or near number one. One wonders if this was about buying off their support in the war on terror.

A Dem-controlled house votes to ban aid to Fraudi Arabia?!?!?!?! We’ll.......call me shocked! Ten to one it’ll be vetoed, James Baker will never allow Bush to permit such a thing to be passed.

Good less money for them to give to Sunni insurgents in Iraq. Course, we don’t hear about that because the Saudis are our good friends and all.
