Bush Prepares to De-Fund Troops
The president wants to have his endless war without restriction or accountability, and the Congress has said "enough is enough". When President Bush defunds his own War, he will have only himself to blame. This is his temper tantrum, and Americans are no longer willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
As the Senate resumed debate Wednesday on a bill containing a spring 2008 timetable for bringing American troops home, Bush argued again that such a step would result in a needless delay of funds for troops. But Democrats are insisting that he'll have to accept some sort of timeline to get the money.
The quotes on this story are priceless. The Republicans choose to veto the funding for the troops and it's the fault of the Democrats?? What's even more priceless is when Bush screams that the American people will blame the Democrats for him being the ones who is actually defunding the troops? Really now? With 60% of Americans supporting scaling back our participation in this Republican war of aggression, the American people are going to hold Democrats responsible for doing what they were elected to do? Not quite. I know for the Republican voter electing someone that doesn't fulfill any of their campaign promises is sort of the norm, but the rest of America sort of elects people to do the job they promised to do. It's a wild concept that is catching on after 12 years of utter Republican mismanagement of Congress. In the next election cycle, we are going to roll it out again. It's just become all the rage with voters, actually having representation in Congress, I know wild who could have ever guessed that it would catch on?? Not Republicans evidently, but such is life. We've seen the best that conservative thinking can do for America, I think we are all ready for a new direction for the country now.
