Oooh, the dem's are pushing the "f" word and making the country shake with concern. LOL!
A clear view of who is supportig the troops and who isn't. Or who is soft on defense and who isn't. Do the dems seriously wish to go there heading into a national election?
A filibuster in the Senate is like the time Cindy Sheehan went on a hunger strike. It was Hagen Daz and other luxuries fit for a dictator's mistress.
The dems’ desperation has made them stupid. The country doesn’t care about filibusters; they want to see the troops funded. Period.
I hope they do it. They will look like the losers they are. We’ve won the surge. Troops are coming home. But the Dhimmis are just playing vicious partisan politics. That’s a great show for the American public. Everything they do sends their ratings lower and lower. Is it possible to have a rating below zero?
This drives me CRAZY! The filibuster is a move to prevent the cloture vote from happening. It is the DEMS that would have to filibuster, not the Pubs, who I am sure are more than happy to hold the cloture vote over and over.
Withdraw funding or shut up. Even your crazies doubt your sincerity. They should. Because you have the numbers to strip funding right now...or do you?
Typical for the RATS to do all in their power to prevent our victory in Iraq. News for the RATS, we’re winning the war and hopefully the ‘08 election.
Dear Sen. Drubin:
The only people you can fool all of the time are those who always vote Democrat.
"Ain't no light bulb ovaa ma head..."
Hell Yeah Bring it on...
Wait let me get this straight the Surge is working it has shown marked progress in the last 6 months. Attacks are down peace is returning and no in the end stage instead of recognizing the vic;tory the Democrats want to cut off the funds NOW.... OMG this is priceless... but it will take an agressive campaign to inform America of what is really happening in Iraq since the Drive By’s have largely decided that good news is not worth reporting...
“changing course in Iraq”
So shouldn’t we start the debate with the requirement? Is is necessary at this point to “Change Course in Iraq”
I mean violence is significantly down are we attempting to entice violence? Our soldiers are not dying everyday now do we need to change that? I get a little confused on exactly what the Democrats want to do so if the say to “Change Course in Iraq” they better start saying what that means.
Bring it, Dems.
“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.
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.
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.
