Well, you are right in one respect, because it does not matter, but thnat is due to the fact that the U.S. is a constitutional republic and not a democracy in thbe pure sense, thank goodness. Does that mean Bush is not a fool? Of course not. Does it mean we ought to throw the baby out with the bathwater and alter the Constitution? No, we should not, and suggestions to the contrary are uninformed.

The democrats in the House and Senate just need to replace Harry and Nancy with democrats with backbones, guts and balls.

don't forget the wide stance

Having been slapped down with your misrepresentations of the WSJ article, you run.

typical...

And you will get a hard on and jerk off imagining brown people being killed by Americans.

Those were innocent human beings trying to get thur another horrid day in Bagdad slaughtered by my tax dollars.

You soulless blood thirsty asshole.

.

these democrats are gutless..
you can bet they will give Bush whatever he wants..

Take your head out of your ass first so you don't miss anything.

Dixafire, PORN! Channel 69! Go there! NOW!

"...putting Bush and many congressional Republicans on the wrong side of public opinion on upcoming foreign and domestic policy battles."

They and their enablers (the new, permanent republicon minority) have been on the wrong side of history for years. They just aren't bright enough to realize it.

$190 billion divided by 300 million Americans. That's $2,533.33 per family of four. Added to the approximately $10,000 already borrowed on behalf of this family of four for the war, times 9%, and the annual bill for each citizen (not each taxpayer) to service this debt (without paying any principal back to China) is $1,128 FOREVER. That means for those two-income families with two kids, with each spouse earning the average US wage of around $37,000 per year ($185 gross per workday), that if they begin devoting 100% of their gross pay to pay this debt on the first work day of 2008, then they will finish paying for their family's 2008 share of the Iraq War burden on January 17th, 12 work days into 2008. At this rate, it will take each of these two working Americans one MORE work day each year just to SERVICE THE DEBT on the war. Or you can look at it this way: each day, the entire first half-hour you are at work, you are working for the war, every workday of the entire year. And the Bush administration is taking this money from you and pissing it away on palettes of $100 bills delivered to Baghdad and handed out willy-nilly. It is spent on Blackwater mercenaries and KBR sandwich makers. It is spent on boosting the value of Dick Cheney's stock options. It is stolen from you and stolen from your children. Now, either get to work and shut up, or get to work and do something about it.

True. But we always sorta knew that, didn't we?

I always think of coultergeist when I see those commercials of wounded vets and families of vets who died, soliciting support for the war.

I thought using tragedy to make political statements was a mortal sin?

*Crickets chirping*

Isn't it amazing how this nation believes it is spreading "democracy" in this world, while those who are "elected" in this nation attempt to destroy "democracy" with every breath they take? We are not "serfs" – yet…but that's not because there isn't a grand effort to make us so.
Am I the only one who wonders how it is that the stock market can reach new heights, when so many more of us reach new financial lows? Could it be on the backs of those who are working for the "man" beyond our shores? What a grand system we have here...the corporations bleed this nation and its people dry to the bone through their credit scams, yet are profitable beyond their wildest dreams because the slavery that was outlawed in this nation is theirs for the taking because they have been gifted with corporations without boundaries.
Where is a Theodore Roosevelt when we really need one?

Very good points. The People have made their opinion known on this issue, repeatedly, and so the article offers no real news value. The only thing that matters is that the majority in Congress opposes it.

I'm still waiting to see the Congressional courage.

tick tock, tick tock...

Dubya is destroying the Republican Party right along with everything else he comes into contact with. Some Repubs, like John Warner, can see this.

Wait a minute B & R's butt boy. You mean to tell me that you are using Huffpo for a credible source?

What flavor kool aid are you coloring your vodka with?

Can't you just smell their fear?

Finally we sill drive Limbaugh from the air.

Imus is a prince in comparirson.

Pelosi is the Paris Hilton of politics - all show no substance!

Stop funding the war, bring our troops home and take a fair and balanced approach to the Middle-East. It's the only logical solution. -driven989

Nice post, driven. That's exactly the right way out of this quagmire, and to "fight" terrorism.

Add to that the fact that the fraud against Iran must also be stopped before it really starts.

Ann is sooo weak... Even Bill Mayer won't do her any more...

Why? Because that's the only way a black man could make up his own mind, if HE'S BEEN PAID FOR?

Your heart is black. It must have been bought too.......

Good

Don't even play the race card - man got paid. Period.
