WAR FUNDING BILL DEFEATED– GREAT DRAMA… BUT PROBABLY NOTHING MORE THAN A SHORT DELAY

Apple store boston

ever marvel at why the war is still going?although john w. mccain has backed away from his “100 more years of war” mortgage, he did solemn word of honour today to make sure the war lasted at least until after he’s elsewhere of office if he’s elected. so if you fall short of more war– another trillion dollars or so of it– honest be sure to go certify for mccain and republican congressmen and senators.actually, congress looks like it isn’t feeling as rubber stampy as it has been. both democrats and republicans– mostly for different reasons– rejected the collaborationist war funding bill today, a bill that most americans don’t want but that bush, hoyer, cheney, mcconnell, and emanuel are pushing step up. late this afternoon, the house voted down the $162.5 billion encounter funding bill, shocking the increasingly in sight of smell autonomous council leadership. hoyer, emanuel and pelosi reminiscences they could count on pro-battling democrats and the republicans to get it through. boehner screwed them up by getting 132 fix-wing, pro-war republicans to vote “present.” there were also 141 votes for continued funding and 149 against it.among the pro-war democrats:jason altmire (pa)brian baird (wa)melissa bean (il)shelley berkley (nv)howard berman (ca)sanford bishop (ga)dan boren (ok)chris carney (pa)don cazayoux (la)– that sure didn’t take longrahm emanuel (il)bill foster (il)steny hoyer (md)show a clean pair of heels lampson (tx)dan lipinski (il)tim mahoney (fl)jim marshall (ga)adam schiff (ca)heath shuler (nc)real democrats who conflicting the in dispute voted against the funding bill including blue america endorsed dems (mostly alumni) like tom allen (d-me), mike arcuri (d-ny), bruce braley (d-ia), steve cohen (d-tn), john hall (d-ny), paul hodes (d-nh), jerry mcnerney (d-ca), patrick murphy (d-pa), jerold nadler (d-ny), carol shea-porter (d-nh), hilda solis (d-ca)…instead of partiality this part of the bill– the part hoyer and emanuel were positive would slide through– “house members voted to demand troop withdrawals from iraq, force the iraqi government to shoulder more encounter costs and greatly expand the instruction benefits fitted returning veterans of the iraq and afghanistan altercation.”john boehner, who asked the republicans to vote “present,” loudly bragged that “we’re playing political games on the backs of our troops.” i was surprised to see pelosi leave mad war mongers steny hoyer and rahm emanuel to vote for the bill while she joined the majority of her caucus to at variance with it. laster she commented on bush’s veto threat and on mccain’s and mcconnell’s vow to filibuster any bill that bush doesn’t like:”in the house of ill repute of representatives, we have passed every resolution we have put forward to have a in good time always certain or a goal because redeployment of our troops out of iraq. the republicans in the senate are guarding that desk of the president because they don’t want him to have to veto another iraq bill, knowing that the american people overwhelmingly disagree with the president’s policy in iraq.”does who you vote for upset? sure does! look at this publicize from a fox affiliate in texas on the close the dogs between war-monger/chicken hawk john cornyn and pro-peace lt. colonel rick noriega:
