Feingold And Reid Raise The Stakes

by S-Q @ 10:40 AM MDT



The Carpetbagger Report

Since President Bush has made it painfully clear that he has no intention of fixing his failed Iraq policy, it is no longer a question of if Congress will end this war; it is a question of when...

The showdown over war funding between Congress and the White House is already ugly. Dems have passed a spending bill with a withdrawal timeline, while Bush prefers an open-ended commitment to fighting in Iraq’s civil war indefinitely. Because lawmakers refused to go along with the president’s demand for condition-free money, a veto is now all but inevitable.

The question, at that point, will be what congressional Dems plan to do about it. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) announced this morning that he and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will unveil a measure when the Senate reconvenes next week that the White House really isn’t going to like.

Looks like sh*t is gonna hit the big fan next week! Pelosi's trip to Syria will more than likely have a significant impact on this too!

If Russ Feingold likes it and Bush doesn't, I definitely know which side I'm on.

This president has painted himself into a corner; with nothing other than a war to show for his time in office he has no choice but to continue on his chaotic path.

Next up Repub scandal - did anyone see the 60 Minutes report on the Medicare Drug bill?

Cool post

I can scroll down so I don't have to look at dumbya, go on a magic carpet ride, and watch a real sky pilot...All while reading the Drudge Report. Im sure that Nancy will get a better reception than Duubya or any of his staff. She might even do some unscripted communication with the people of Syria....( :

Geezer:

That magic carpet ride looked like a lot of fun, didn't it? ;)

Nancy strikes me as a lady that is respectful of others and a great communicator! :)
