“which Democrats hope will help them turn voter frustration with Congress and the stalemate over Iraq into anger with the Republican Party.”
Yes, by all means don’t actually govern. Don’t conduct the nation’s business and act responsibily by keeping the troops funded. Just keep playing politics with EVERYTHING in the hope it will give your evil political party monopolistic control of the government. What high-minded people the Dems. are.
bring it on......again, for the umpteenth time and it still won’t pass.......
rats have little cognizant skill to understand a no is still a no vote.
WOW! "Preventing" a change of course? Bravo-Sierra!!!
Preventing a FORCED change is accurate. The writer (and the Dem leadership) is a flipping idiot!
None in the media will bring up the fact that Congress trying to dictate troop movements is unconstitutional.
They can constitutionally withdraw funding and force a President’s hand in the decision he makes, but they cannot make those decisions themselves. They are violating their oaths of office.
They are really desperate about the Iraq matters, aren’t they?
They live, eat, breathe and breed “Iraq” (and “I hate Bush”) .....
Nothing else matters (except abortion) other than forcing us to lose the Iraq War.
Republicans shouldn’t even play this game.
Send one Republican to floor and have him object to unanimous consent motions to invoke cloture.
Let the Democrats talk to themselves for as long as they want.
The Dems are still pretending the surge has failed.

I have an "f" word that comes to mind whenever I think of these donkey fools. I can't spell it out...but its military equivalent is foxtrot (as in "charlie foxtrot", or whenever the Dims do something stupid - when DON'T they - "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?")
My, my, a bit angry are you that Republicans were so arrogant they blew off the people that elected them and got their butts handed to them?
Yeah, we have court jesters playing around with the troops. Newsflash: they did this before when republicans had the majority and RINO’s like hagel gave them comfort even then. But, yeah, we’re not supposed to recognize that some republicans haven’t been angels after all. It’s all the stupid public’s fault for not recognizing they walk on water even while a short time ago WARNER was making noises of helping their little resolutions on the war along. Retirement and success with the surge seem to have worked wonders for his “principled” stance on the war lately.
Anyway, glad you blew off steam. No one really cares too much, the past is what it is (unchangeable) and the troops are STILL where they are and probably will STILL be there because these jokers are too chicken to strip funds; so your whining about how people voted is about as meaningless as the Dems latest stunt that not even their base is convinced is genuine.
LOL... they’re way too late to do this now. A filibuster discussion will give those who support the war a major stage to showcase the success of Petraeus’ strategy ... and will absolutely sink the Demodogs’ ship. People who aren’t aware how well things have been going in Iraq will learn that Bush and his supporters have been right all the time.
They won’t dare try this once they realize its folly.
I knew the truth would make some here squeal. Thanks again for this congressional freak show.
Makes no sense.
The Republicans can let it come to a vote and let the Dems show the voters where they stand.
If the Dems can ever get a bill to President Bush’s desk (not many signs of that so far), he can veto it.
Yes.
