This move by the Democrats is more about quashing the momentum of success we've had in Iraq these past few weeks than it is about timetables and pork.

They want us to lose so they have something to complain about in 08.

These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal, and their pet spending projects. This is not going to happen.

W slammed it out of the park with this one.

So this is what it takes for him to show just a little backbone, and to slap down the sort of pork spending that lost his Party the majority in the House and Senate.

Too little, too late.

When the weasels and DNC puppets in the MSM peddle the talking point of "Bush vetoing the bill shows lack of support for the troops" (and you know they will) they need to be massivly emailed and called explaining to them how they are tools and should "f-off".

Stars & Stripes ^ | 24 March 2007 | Leo Shane III
Funding impasse could extend combat tour By Leo Shane III, Stars and StripesMideast edition, Saturday, March 24, 2007 WASHINGTON — Lengthy delays in finalizing supplemental war funding could force Army leaders to extend some soldiers’ tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.Army officials are planning cutbacks in home-station training, cuts in repair of predeployment training equipment and delays in upgrades to barracks and family facilities at stations worldwide if the president’s $94 billion supplemental request isn’t approved by Congress by April 15, Gates said at a media roundtable.If the funding impasse stretches past May 15, he...

From Rush today:

RUSH: And the president turned around, a bunch of military people in uniform standing behind him, he turned around, he looked at them, you could see the look on his face, "I am your commander-in-chief. I have your concerns. I'm the one that's on your side." You could see that look on his face.

So that's it, April 15th. I mentioned this earlier in the program, and this is going to be very interesting, because I wouldn't put it past the Democrats to make sure there's not a bill the president can sign by April 15th and let the troops suffer the recriminations of underfunding, and then you see what the American people's reaction will be, because I don't care what their attitude on the war is, they don't want the troops underfunded and the American people do not want the US military to lose.

The Democrat Party does. The Democrat Party owns defeat. They don't care if we lose. All that matters to them is that they do two things: They placate the kooks on their fringe that dominate their base, and number two, set themselves up for what they think will be a massive electoral victory in 2008. And they think this is it.

They are becoming the McGovern party. They're setting themselves up for a humiliating landslide defeat somewhere down the road, and they don't even see it. They think they are recreating moments from their past of great virtue and valor, of great strength. Remember McGovern lost in a landslide to Richard Nixon. This is who they are. You could say this is who they are becoming, but they can't become who they already are. They own defeat. They have the deed. There have been no cosigners. The Democrat Party put no money down, they didn't borrow any money to own this defeat; they paid for it in full, up front. They continue to do so now.

Now, some people might say, "Ah, Rush, they'll back off now that they've made their statement." They're going to feel their oats. I'm going to guarantee you, the Drive-By Media, if you waste your time watching them this afternoon and tonight, they'll let you hear the same sound bites I just played of President Bush, and they'll talk about how he's out of it, the man is delusional, he's lost touch with reality, why, he doesn't even know what he's talking about.

It was 218-212, and without bribery and pork this bill would have never passed. The Democrats in the House are in disarray. This bill changes none of that, and they have put that on display for anybody who is watching to notice.

If the welfare leach pandering bastards in Congress won't vote the funds to fight the war ---- I'd love to see all Social Welfare and Pork dollars shifted to the folks who DESERVE it ---- the MILITARY..

Let the Democrats explain to their lazy ass brain dead fornicating breeders why their methadone and welfare won't be available until the war is won....

F'em

The purpose of the emergency war spending bill I requested was to provide our troops with vital funding. Instead, Democrats in the House, in an act of political theater, voted to substitute their judgment for that of our military commanders on the ground in Iraq. They set rigid restrictions that will require an army of lawyers to interpret. They set an arbitrary date for withdrawal without regard for conditions on the ground. And they tacked on billions for pet projects that have nothing to do with winning the war on terror. This bill has too much pork, too many conditions and an artificial timetable for withdrawal.

As I have made clear for weeks, I will veto it if it comes to my desk .....

STICK TO YOUR GUNS ON THIS ONE, MY MAN !!!!

---------------------------

And my reaction to this BS by the 'RATS is that I am (as usual) SHOCKED by NOT SURPRISED by their vote on this. I just wish that Dubya had a little bit of Lincoln in him and would call these traitors what they are !!!!
