Breaking: Reid Yanks Defense Authorization Bill To Force GOP's Hand

Obama is talking the language of losers and traitors. I heard his quote from the other day and it’s more of the liberal claptrap I’ve come to know and despise.

When “Empty Suit” steps outside of his useless platitudes, there’s nothing new and nothing that other liberals don’t embrace. His voting record is almost identical to Shrillary and Edwards.

His big claim to fame is that he wasn’t around on the war vote. So he’s given some sainted status by the left and media.

Horsefeathers.

John Rockefeller...senator W. VA ... he’s being investigated by DOJ along with Durbin for passing our secrets around.

[1035rep]

I agree!

[sappy]

Reid scuttles the chess pieces when he realizes he is boxed in.

[Clump]

If the GOP holds strong, Reid and the Dems are going to take a hit that will put the GOP in position to take back the momentum going into ‘08. I say we should not blink on this threat. The troops will not be denied. No way, I don’t care what they say. It will not happen. Even Americans against the war will not support that junk.

[Frwy]

Do the people who voted Reid and Pelousy in now realize what they have done. Of course, it’s not just these two but they are the ones most visible, it seems. If they aren’t axed in 2010 nothing even remotely making sense will come out of Congress. The Dems will continue to draw their huge paychecks and to hell with the troops putting their very lives on the line for us all, including the Liberal idiots. Do they care. No!, the troops are just another tool to try to coerce the Republicans into backing down.

[Cyber Liberty]

Wouldn't the GOP gladly vote on the Iraq Withdrawal measure because Harry hasn't got the votes for it to pass?

I think that's the problem...they do have the simple majority necessary to pass.

I volunteer to arrest Reid .....just give me the authority!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Reid’s approval rating should be 8 or 9% by mid august : )

[Dan Middleton]

If I don’t see this from another source PDQ, I’m going to discount it.

In ancient Rome, when the Roman Senate refused to pay the Roman Army, the Roman Army started executing Roman Senators.

The tagline remains until Jim or a moderaor asks that it be removed. If it concerns you, well, that’s life.

If you wish knowledge of its origin, which you did not bother to ask but merely decided you knew the answer to....

It’s a direct play on the election in 2000 when freepers on behalf of BUSH and CHENEY went to where Gore resided and shouted for him to get out of Cheney’s house. I’m going to guess that incident didn’t inflate your “concerns” about how it didn’t actually belong to Gore or Cheney. Did it?

It’s also a slam against Bush for using conservatives to get elected twice, then stabbing them in the back. Reagan wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t stab the movement in the back that got him there once he was safely elected to a second term. I don’t want Reagan back in the oval office and, no, the office was not “his” anymore then it belongs to any President. But I do want the spirit of conservatism back in that house again, duly elected, represented and respected. As it once with Reagan.

You need to add Leaky Leahy and Turbin Durbin to that group. Oh hell...make it an even dozen and add Bill & Hill, while you’re at it! The Dirty Dozen.

[XenaLee]

He (Reid) kinda reminds me of what one of the judges at the Salem witch trials would have looked like. Pure evil.
