Now the Sore Loser intends to starve the troops if he doesn't get his way???

If you’ve noticed, the dim bulbs of the MSM are also claiming the amendment would “withdraw all the troops by Spring 2008” when it would have done no such thing.

Every time Reid tries to bring any kind of surrender bill, he gets less votes.

Washington is in gridlock, which is good for America. Less damage.

So, Pinky Reid is resorting to blackmail. What a punk! The nation is watching this fool resort to tactics you would find with the mob in shake down tactics. In this case he is using our heroes in the shake down. Wait until the rage rolls across this country.

What ever happened to hanging TRAITORS ?

I think FReepers should start a movement to fund the troops with private donations. It would embarrass the dems and the RINOs and we could tell old Harry to go F himself.

It looks to me that we could call this the Reid “Pocket Veto” of the Defense bill.........scannell

Ratcheting up the stakes in the wake of the GOP's successful blocking of a vote on Iraq withdrawal just moments ago, Harry Reid just announced on the Senate floor that he won't allow a vote on the entire Defense Authorization bill until the Senate GOP drops its filibustering of votes on Iraq.

I'm confused (again)!

Harry is planning to uphold the Defense Authorization bill because the GOP is filibustering it -- I don't think so?

As I understand it, a filibuster is "an attempt to extend debate upon a proposal in order to delay or completely prevent a vote on its passage."

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

Reid is shooting for single digit approval ratings.

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

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

Dingy Harry may be a traitorous jerk, but I will give him one thing - he has more guts than the Republican leadership had when they had the majority...
