BUMP!
Slandering and libeling them wasn’t enough
wondering whether or not to pull the trigger wasn’t enough,
and worrying about their families back home won’t be enough, either,
for jack murtha and all those little swollen pork bellies in Pennsylvania.
I’d rather they furlough the entire State Department, and use the savings from that to pay our military bills.
Draining the Clintoon Foggy Bottom swamp and saving money to boot. The very definition of WIN-WIN.
They equate them with the bureaucrats in DC.
Will somebody...anybody...please tell those idiots that Bush is NOT on the ballot next November.
It wouldn't be noticeable. DoD budget is 13 times bigger than State.
WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Tuesday started shifting money between accounts to cover a shortfall caused by lawmakers’ refusal to approve war funds, but Democrats called the move a scare tactic meant to silence critics who want troops pulled from Iraq.

“To change the political law, it doesn’t seem to me you need the military stability,” Mr. Murtha told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Didn’t think Fat A$$ murtha could stoop any lower...I was wrong!! He’s lost what marbles he had.
>> [furloughing State] wouldn’t be noticeable. DoD budget is 13 times bigger than State.
Very well. Then toss in Education, most of Commerce, much of Homeland Security, all of Health and Human Services, and so on.
Shameful.
They might also tell them that he IS the Commander-in-Chief for the next 14 months...NOT THEM!
What an abject moron that thing is!
I hope they cut thousands of civilian jobs from CA, NV, and every congressional district that the Quisling Democrats are depending upon for votes next year. And Sec. Gates should be very clear on who is to blame for them losing their jobs in the new year.
Chet Edwards, of TX Congressional Dist. 17, the home of Ft. Hood, has consistently voted with Nancy Pelosi for surrender dates in all the funding bills this year, including the one passed this week. Voters should let this dimpled hypocrite know that they will not support him in ‘08, no matter how many campaign ads he puts on Waco and College Station TV lying about how he supports the troops.
It is civilians working at the Rock Island Arsenal here in the Quad Cities that have been busting their guts turning out up-armor kits for humvees. (They've very recently developed a new style plate that is exceeding everyones expectations.) These civilians are having a direct impact on the war effort right now.
On another thread, fools are laughing at the thought of the base civilians being laid off.
They equate them with the bureaucrats in DC.
Remember that we are talking about mostly civil service personnel. They will be paid retroactively when funds are ultimately available. Meantime it is just a paid vacation to them.

I’d settle for Congress, they’re useless anyhow.
