Democrats' Emergency Funding Bill

“I'm not pleased. I definitely share the frustration over Bush's handling of the Iraq situation and the arrogance of his unitary executive doctrine. I guess some kind of vote of no confidence in setting a non-binding deadline isn't so bad, but I don't think a time table is helpful.

What's worse is that it looks like they are buying votes with Pork and earmarks. It's not to recent Republican levels, but if this is how they start this early... yikes! It's definitely does not offer great hope for their behavior post 2008 assuming they make big gains.

“Not to worry, the evil Bush will veto it. ;-)”

“According to the Defense Department cut backs in spending will have to begin in two weeks. Our troops will be without funding, because the President is not going to sign the bill and Congress is on vacation for two weeks.

Nice job Democrats.”

“I see the difference between a no confidence vote which calls for a time table for a possible victory and a defunding which gives a date for absolute defeat. And what date is that? 2008. How convenient they set us up for defeat in an election year?

I'm no fan of how Bush has handled the whole thing either but to throw a war for political gain? And especially since they'll be leaving our troops blowing in the wind for 18 months while they wait for their election year?

The lowest.”

“DemoRats.”

“People just don't seem to get it. The Socialists are not in it for anything but the acquisition of POWER, pure and simple. Their Hatered of Bush stems from the 2000 Florida Election when they could not get the blithering idiot Gore elected.

They want power so as to build their base of ENTITLED Government leeches. The advantage is that they know the leeches will reelect them every cycle so the leeches don't get cut off.”

“I think Neal Boortz has said it the best in an OPEN LETTER TO ALQAEDA


Dear Al Qaeda:
We know that things in Iraq have been a bit tough for you lately. President Bush's determination to bring stability to Iraq through an increase in the number of troops has been showing results .. and even more troops are on the way. Because of the troop surge you have seen a decline in the number of American troops you and your Islamic fascist buddies have been able to kill. Because of the increased level of security in Baghdad the Iraqi people were starting to feel better about their future. You know this, even though the American people may not. You're close to the situation so you can readily see the changing conditions. The American people are insulated from this reality by a media apparatus that is more concerned with the destruction of President Bush than to the success of our efforts in Iraq.

All in all, it was getting to be a pretty depressing picture for you and your terrorist pals.

Well ... cheer up. Things are about to change. After a rather close vote in the U.S. Senate today you are one step closer to knowing an exact de upon which all U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq. As we're sure your political analysts will tell you, setting a specific date for withdrawal. We're sure you realize that you cannot commit yourself to victory and to a date-specific withdrawal at the same time. You select one course of action, or the other.

Take heart, too, in the fact that other nations and regimes in the Middle East have now seen further evidence that the United States does not have the political will to commit itself to victory. Your tactic of waging a war of attrition against American troops has been validated. The American people, having heard a preponderance of negative news from their media, are calling for capitulation. They've become complacent after five years have passed since 9/11 with no terrorists attacks in our country. Oh, there have been some isolated incidents of mad Muslims shooting up shopping malls and mowing innocents down with their cars ... but nothing major to rekindle their determination. Was this your plan all along? Somehow we think that you are that clever ... and if that's the case, this element of your grand plan has also worked very well.

You now realize that you can advance your radical Islamist goals throughout the Middle East, and perhaps into Europe, without any fear of retaliation or interference from the United States. The will to fight is lost. The desire for victory has died. The American people have become fat, lazy and complacent. They no longer see either their freedom or their culture as something they are willing to fight for. It must be heady days indeed in your caves and tents. Hard to imagine, isn't it? Al Qaeda actually has more determination to see their cause through than the great United States of America! Perhaps that's because you're dedicated to the cause of the spread of Islam, while the American people have lost their dedication to the cause of liberty. Complacency will do that to you.

We do have one word of caution for you. You and your Islamic terrorist buddies have been the beneficiaries of the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election in the United States. That election, and the close vote in our State of Florida, created a sense of hatred and resentment in Democrats against our president such as has never been seen before in our history. From that moment on Democrats and liberals in the U.S. were steadfastly dedicated to the idea of the destruction of the Bush presidency. Oh, to be sure, there were a few weeks of solidarity following your attacks of 9/11, but it didn't last. When the panic subsided Democrats suddenly realized that any measure of success in the war against you might actually strengthen the Republican hold on power. It didn't take Democrats long to decide that their hatred of George Bush, and their desire to see his presidency destroyed, absolutely outweighed any concerns they had about protecting our people from another one of your vicious attacks. Democrats have convinced themselves that, once they have gained full control of our government, a few "we feel your pain" comments directed at your murdering Islamic followers will be all that is needed to put the Western world and the wonderful, peaceful, serene religion of Islam around a desert campfire singing rousing renditions of Kumbaya. You just need to be aware that there is a chance, though slight, that the Democrats might actually decide that our culture is worth fighting for ... if they can first rid our country of the Bush pestilence.

At any rate .. the Senate has now set a deadline. If the bill makes it to the president's desk he says he will veto it. Some feel, however, that when the president realizes that the legislation merely sets a date certain for our capitulation to you in Iraq, and doesn't open the doors to any additional stem cell research, he will decide that a veto is not warranted. So ... just sit tight. Save your energy. Catch your breath. Cool it. You may soon know the exact date that you one day commemorate as the date you chased the infidels out of Iraq. This could well be the date you will remember as the beginning of the final steps toward your 12th Caliphate and the cause of world domination under Islamic law.

You are small but determined to see your dreams of domination come true. America is strong but complacent and unwilling to fight for the cause of liberty. Time to ferment some goat's milk for a toast!

Yours truly

America the Timid.”

“That Boortz thing makes me sad. The "surge" has caused a mild slow down in some indicators of insurgent violence. There have been other more significant slow downs in the past. Were it a movie, it would be funny to see people hailing such modest changes as signs of a major turn around (remember the ever moving light at the end of the tunnel during the Vietnam years).

It seems that Bush is playing a game of chicken with the troops and the Democrats don't have a decent answer.

I'd like to have an alternative to waiting and watching for two years while Bush continues to f things up worse and worse around the world. As far as I can see the current Dem plan looks like it will 1) just help muck things up further, 2) let the Bush coalition shift blame and avoid learning the lesson.

Bush's policies have helped divide and depress our friends while uniting and energizing our adversaries. Just as the British in 1770s inspired many Americans to leave their normal lives and join the revolt, so Bush has inspired many more jihadis than our forces have killed or captured.

Again look what came out of our victory in Afghanistan against the Soviets. Win, lose or draw, I don't like what is brewing because of our war in Iraq.”

“LOL...and of course the Dems have made a bit of a typical Hypocritical Change....they eliminated the agency that reports on earmarks (LOL)

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,261649,00.html

SEN. TOM COBURN, R-OKLA.: Well the CRS, which is a branch of the Library of Congress, has refused to give the senators a list of the earmarks in this last year's appropriations bill. And they don't have a good reason for not doing that, other than the fact that there obviously has been some implied pressure if they continue to do so. And so that's something we depend on and now we don't have that as a source.”

“Hey! Can I get in on the circle jerk?

I think Bush is making a brave stand by vetoing the money that our troops will need... it shows full support!”

“LOL....the troll is an idiot.

Kinda like the rapist saying, "If you don't scream I won't hurt you."”

“Sorry, you are saying that Bush will not veto the funding bill for our troops then?”

“
”

“VETO and operate under continuing resolution. If it looks like the libbies will shut you down. Shut down places first in the districts of the Dem leaders. Call the Boston Naval Shipyard and CLOSE THEM DOWN....(LOL)”

Rape is a recurring theme with you, XL.

Maybe you should talk to a PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSycho-anal-ist about your past trauma and your FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS.”

“Election's coming up and as we have witnessed on here, if you don't fund the war, well, then you must hate the troops and hate America. Right Stovie?”

“No its becuase the Libbies see that the lamestream media is losing ground and people are starting to change opinions....(LOL) the wind changes the LIBBIES blow with it...

By 52 percent to 41 percent, most said the U.S. is making progress in Iraq. When AP-Ipsos last asked that question in September 2006 � a time when vicious sectarian attacks resembled a civil war � just 39 percent saw improvements under way.”

“Libbies get so pissy when they are wrong.”
