Get ready for a month of Bush administration spin. Leading up to the next funding battle between the president and Congress over the war in Iraq, Bush Republicans will try anything to keep America from talking about the truth:
It's time to fund withdrawal, not the war.
Bush recently demanded another $50 billion to fund his war. That's in addition to the $147 billion he has already requested. He's counting on the White House-written Patraeus report this month to convince Congress to play along, but America already knows that we must end this catastrophe now.
Sign the petition demanding Congress fights for what America wants:

George Bush doesn't want America talking about funding withdrawal. He wants to talk about his cherry-picked intelligence reports, failing Iraqi leadership, and staying the course. His media yes-men will repeat the party line -- no questions asked. Radio blowhards will use fear to amp up White House talking points. All of it is smoke and mirrors to keep us from talking about what America wants.
Congress must fight back against the Bush Republican spin job. Congress must tell the truth. America wants to fund withdrawal, not the war.

Bush Republicans are out of touch with America. Let them defend the war. Let them claim the surge is working. Let them stay the course.
Americans will remember those who stood with them.
Fund withdrawal, not the war. It's up to you to make Congress tell the truth.
I read somewhere that the Democrats have 49 seats in the Senate, and are considered a majority because the two independents vote with them. Seems like a pretty slim majority. Unless they can get a few Republicans to vote with them, they can't get much legislation passed. At least now the Congress can ask questions before they take votes, unlike when the Republicans were in the majority.
Would you call an adult taking candy from a baby a battle?
The Democrats are fighting just as hard as the Republicans are to keep the war going.
Pelosi also apparently took the rubber stamp along with the gavel when power was supposedly transfered to the Democrats.
blood on both parties hands.
the sad part most americans believe the demos are trying to stop this war. one word: naive.
there is a commerical on cable news that plays a lot and says "people are not dumb (or is it stupid") well guess what they are.
elect a sociopath to office as pres because he says he likes jesus now if that aint stupid what is.
no I am not an atheist.
stupid is as stupid does.
welcome to america.
It's all been quite carefully pre-arranged behind closed doors by the 'one-party K-Street system' and they really couldn't care less what the citizens want.
I've been asking for this same strategy since November, but compared to those "...real Americans", as Hillary calls them, in the K-Street lobbies...I'm of little consequence.
Shut the preznutz and the noeCONS down, ONLY fund withdrawal, send the SAME bill back to him repeatedly in the face of his veto AND DON'T BLINK, tighten the screws on OUR tax money being funneled to privatized mercenary military while OUR soldiers get SCREWED and just for once in your poor pathetic, politician, can't sleep because you sold-out the Constitution and everyone - lives...
DO THE RIGHT THING!
I've read this was exactly the force that brought about the end of Prohibition. An independent, third, 'anti-prohibition' party started making real headway in Congress and first one and then the other major party had to call for ending it permanently. The whole reason for the third party was therefore co-opted out of existence by the major parties.
But then, so was Prohibition...
Not to say anything nice about the Democrats (the party of stupid) but do you really think that President Gore would have gotten us into the exact same mess that the Republicans (the party of evil) have?
