Surrendercrats Going Nowhere Fast
With their approval ratings as bad as President Bush’s, but having to face the voters in 2008 (Bush will not be on the ticket) and with nothing of merit passed after 4+ months in office the Surrendercrats are out to prove they can screw up a political opportunity like no one else. They are proposing ANOTHER sure-fail Iraq funding bill while our military is putting life and limb on the line in Iraq
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday said they would press ahead with a new Iraq funding bill, despite a White House veto threat and a cold Senate reaction to a bill that would dole out combat funds in pieces and force a July vote on withdrawing troops.
…
While House Democratic leaders want to pass the new war funds bill by late Thursday, support was being measured and some aides said the vote could slip to Friday or next week.
Under the bill, which is not expected to become law, Bush would get a $42.8 billion down payment. Then, after getting White House war progress reports in July, Congress would cast votes late that month on whether to release an additional $52.8 billion to continue fighting in Iraq through September, or whether to use the money to withdraw most of the troops by the end of this year.
Dems – you passed the full funds twice already. Stop jerking our troops and fund them. Stop playing politics with their lives and fund them. STOP SUPPORTING them and just fund them!!
They promised to get this resolved by Memorial Day. I doubt that they will meet this promise.
This will fail and we know it.
I see that Pelosi has threatened to sue Bush for signing a statement to continue the supplement to our US troops and logistics. Let her. She won’t win this one.
Unfortunately, who will pay…her legal bills?
This Dem. party has not changed since I switched in 1980 they have been on the wrong side of history, but this time people are smarter and have many different avenues in getting the real news not the crap that the msm spews. Most Americans know we are a very tolarent nation but have a passion to win in every thing we do, our colors do not bleed no matter what. If they don’t fund the troops now a pox will
hit that party so fast that eventually the Dem party will have to change their party name, as Pres Reagan left the msm had indicated he had a 77% neg. rating same with Pres. T Roosevelt and yet the two Pres. are quoted all the time. History will show being on both sides of
Iran will eventually bring that regime down and Pres Bush again will show history he was right and the jerks playing games with our troops were nothing more than political hacks

It all goes back to one maniacal person…
And Wesley Clark tonight could only site what Soros has done for FOREIGN countries…Why are we not surprised? Buying himself One World on the backs of the US citizens. .
Shame on you, Wesley Clark! I have zero respect for you anyway. Your demons are eating you alive, sir.
The America-haters are rampant in the democrat party.
I was reading about a CNN poll on another blog and almost hit the roof.
Several lead up question results showed significant support for the war and also showed little support for each of the Democrat proposed options.
But then they hit with a combined question offering on Dem talking point options
Withdrawal by defunding
Funding with benchmarks
Funding with withdrawal dates
or no opinion.
Based on the prior individual questions rejecting each of the options, the fact that they did not offer the clean bill funding option was only a multiple choice question of have you stop beating your wife.
Talk about sins of omission.
Based on the prior individual option questions rejecting each option and the relatively higher support in the combined question for the benchmark option, I believe many should have chosen the no opinion option since the clear bill option was not presented. Based on the figures the benchmark option drew support as the lesser of evils and falsely lent support to the impression that it was the overall preferred option strictly due to the way the question was worded giving no other side of the aisle option.
Thus it was a biased pre manipulation to only allow choices of which way to surrender rather than the full scope of options.
Now, there are several Republicans worried about reelection. In the end the Dems may get what they want. They are pulling out all the stops with adds this weekend, the continued badgering. Sometimes I wonder how one man can stand up to all the crap. If the Dems get what they want they will own all that comes next. They think oil prices are high now, they think that people are dying now, they think that we should protect this country, there will be no deterrents because no one will fear us, they will know we are cowards. Who will ever trust us again. All in the name of getting reelected. IT MAKES ME SICK. Give away a country to get reelected, now how sick is that.
Hope there would be as many or more counter ads this weekend. Why are they doing it this weekend?
Then we should make sure that those Republicans do not waver from our side. I know that Boehner was working really hard to convince them.
Sounds like the Democrats are getting too strong.
Maybe we who support our troops, this mission and our president need to do something really big. Some thin that would make the news. How could we organize a rally in DC?

Pulling out when the opposition is strong is a recipe for lots of losses on the way out.
Leaving after the country is stable is less troubling.
We could bring a million people to the DC area and it might make the news, but the Dems are bought and paid for. They have made the deal and sealed it. Our side did it for free and for freedom.
I don’t want this to be the second strike lesson learned.
I don’t know what the answer is to continue going forward , except that it is right. The dems and the MSM are beating their drums but we don’t have the anti-war protesters in size or number of Nam.
I think it is more now that it is just not American Idol and so many just don’t care or have a clue.
I think it would take a jihad video of beheading 3 or 4 people at a major airport or a shopping mall to wake some people up.
The MSM puts on all the bad news and I think the general public say well so what’s new lets get on with the news. A sad situation.
Keep passing that Kool-Ade around, there’s plenty for all.
Sure, sure, it’s the Democrats – as opposed to the Warpublicans – that are in trouble.
That certainly explains why a Congressional delegation of Warpublicans bearded Bush in his own den, telling him he’s destroying the Warpublican party with his failed misadventure in Iraq:
FIVE PERCENT??????? Atta boy, Georgie!!
So, as I said, keep passing around that Kool-Ade, and you’ll still be flying in Nov of ’08, when George the Dead Albatross Bush drags the corrupt Warpublican Party down to a landwark trouncing – as the Democrats will increase their lead in the House and Senate and take back the White House – no matter which Demcorat runs or which Warpublican receives the nomination.
Put a fork in the GOP – it’s done.
sooth You truly are norrow minded and a politacal hack your god savoir Pres> schmuck Clinton went to kosovo and we are still their after how many years. We knew then as today, they were not a place that would be a natl. security problem. All you want is to be a ostrich and stick your head in the sand and of course Bush bash when the blue dog dems see the good things that are happening now they will run as far as they can from the left side of their party as they did during the Regean era. History always takes a few years and during the next few years Pres.Bush will show he was right and political hacks that only see today will pray for some other event to gripe about.
AJ, I think the Dems intend to stick to their orginal plan……..they intend to ‘bleed’ the troops dry.
Ivehadit….I watched traitor Clark and you are so right. The one thing that came shining through was his defense of Soros because of what he has done for FOREIGN countries. If O’Reilly was smart, he would showcase Clark’s opining on FOREIGN countries. One of my pet peeves that I keep saying over and over……the Dems and their MSM Army intended to hand this country over to Kofi on a silver platter. They will support any faked up Global Tax that will keep their ‘world’ in denial. This is the real reason they hate Bush. Bush messed in their big plan to give the UN & their ICC ultimate control. He inherited a mess that was actually too big for one man.
That puts us squarely into my second pet peeve………those low-down sneaky, wimpy, no good, back-stabbing things we call Republican Senators and Representatives. Not all. You all know who they are. The Dem’s MSM Army does not even bother to hide what they do or what their handlers do. Bush could not fight all these fires by himself. He had both houses of Congress but these back-stabbing creeps would not fight anyone except HIM. Exceptions include DeLay and the Army got rid of him. I absolutely can not stand those that allowed this to happen while they hid under their desk. They could have stopped this crap way back when Boxer was allowed to trash Condi. When they allowed Ashcroft to be treated like a criminal. Over and over, when McCain painted Bush and all of us as torturers. And these immigration freaks that can not see that they have totally destroyed so much. I put them in exactly the same seat as these back-stabbing, short-sighted Pugs. Just interested in ‘their’ issue without giving any solution to what is going to happen in Mexico. Just stick their heads into the sand over the wars that are going on south of us and Bush trying to keep a country between us and them. They NEVER discuss the bigger problem…..as if it is ONLY the border.
I hope we lose every single one of those whining, wimpy, back-stabbing Pugs. I hope they do not receive ONE PENNY. I want a list of NAMES and I want to know which ones talked to Tim Russert. These chicken-livered creeps scattered all over the Congress is what lost that last election and they do not care any more about the TROOPS than the Dems. Do not call them RINOS. I see so-called true Republicans that are just as bad. These people should be called SICKOs. Then they should be forced to read James Lewis’s recent article titled “A Theory of W” (http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/05/a_theory_of_w.html).
Owl, Love your post! You and I are on the same peeve-train!
As for the global sociaist sorosites I say this: WE WILL NEVER FORGET. EVER.
They are being exposed at every turn.
SS:
You’ve already lost and don’t know it. Gary Trudeau is mocking the Democrats on a regular basis now.
So Bush has a five-percent approval rating in one corner of Tom Davis’s district, huh? When portions of Northern Virginia are almost as moonbatty as San Francisco? And we’re right next door to the District of Columbia, a region that has about nine Democrats for every Republican? Gee, you could just knock me over with a feather. Why, it almost appears that Bush doesn’t stand a chance of getting re-elected.
SS:
Have I told you Bush’s approval rating in my cube??? Ohhh God how is the President ever going to get re-elected???? Silly Democrat, your party has shot itself in the foot for the Presidential election. Democrats have only been about “being against Bush”, they haven’t “been for” anything. In 08 “being against Bush” isn’t going to win sh!t, unless Jeb decides to run. The lefty Democrats can’t be leaders, they only worry about polls. What if a poll came out and said 95% of people think we shouldn’t pay taxes any more? Or 65% think drinking and driving should be OK? Or 100% of left handed people think right handed people are the devil? A leader does what is best for their country as a whole, not a percentage of it.
