The presidential candidates who are in congress had BETTER NOT skip out on this FUCKING vote!! If they aren't there to vote against this... then they lost my vote for a Democratic president. Fuck them!!

Dems cave in again!

Dems cave again?

The Democrats brag about: "no new deficit spending."
It's on their website -

So where is this money coming from?

"$696 billion in military programs"

A hundred billion here, a hundred billion there and pretty soon you're talkin' real money.

Insanity.

In response to those that whine about all the people who support the war should join the military...I found a post by a guy named Jim on another forum:

I am personally sick of those who say they want to be protected from criminals, but never joined the police force; or who want someone to put out their house fire, but never became a firefighter; or who want to eat vegetables, but never farmed; or who want to ride the bus, but never worked as bus drivers; or who want to watch sports but never played in the NFL; well you get the picture. It's a stupid and illogical argument.

From what i seen on c-span tonight, the dems won by getting a vote to "patch" the AMT and pay for it by closing offshore tax loopholes. The arguments against it were pretty sad sounding repugs trying to include the middle class into the 1% of the rich that are evading their share of tax's by sending it offshore;-)

We could have universal health care for every American in the United States with this amount of money. When are people going to get fed up with these drunken sailors in DC. Where can we go to see who voted against this piece of crap of a bill?

Republicans = Democrats

Democrats = Republicans

What's the difference?

"War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent States alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole"

Remember, this is credit card money, will cost more than twice as much to repay it.

"There is no historic parallel that can be drawn, nothing compares with the accomplishments of the Bush family. No dictator or tyrant can equal the suffering and destruction they have wrought on humanity, as they are not mere tyrants themselves, but the makers and breakers of tyrants, the organizers and profiteers of war and death......."
From Dynasty of Death - the bush crime family

I guess it's a good thing Bush vetoed the children's healthcare bill...

Great Congress, thanks for being total fascism supporting schmucks.

thought we put the democrats in to stop all this wasted money on Bush's war and what do we get? not even a passage on children's health care. guess they have never heard of the old saying "no guts no glory" but Bush has so he's screwing us all and laughing about it.

So Congress feels its appropiate and justified in pouring another couple of hundred billion (in taxpayer money) into Bush's Iraq War.
Just what exactly is Congress telling those American taxpayers that they are getting in return or as a worthwhile benefit,for those billions?
