Reply By: danielostPosted: Sunday, November 18, 2007personally i think you both are wrong. i am hoping for someone who really means what they say. the last one was Reagan. bush is close but he isn't a Reagan type. The issue is not that Bush means what he says. It is that what Bush believes and has done
Reply By: joe-pro-photographerPosted: Sunday, November 18, 2007Further, I think you will see additional democratic gains at the state level. The only wringer to your predictions, Gene, is if Hil is the nominee. Then I think gains, if any, will be surpressed. And we'll be depressed. I agree that she,

Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Sunday, November 18, 2007If Bush and GOP members of Congress prevent the passage of essential funding with cloture in the Senate or fail to override a Veto, the system will fail. The intent in the Constitution was to have the majority in Congress set spending. If that does not happen because of parliamentar

I'm sorry who was that using filibusters for six years to block the appointment of over 200 Judges. these were simple majority votes. but to break the filibuster requires 2/3rds vote. and that was in the senate. First it does not require a 2/3 majority to end Cloture. It requires 60 votes. 2/3 of the

For someone who professes to revere the Constitution as much as you do and who squeals so loudly when he perceives it has been violated in some way, I can't quite understand your bitching & moaning when it works as designed. If Bush and GOP members of Congress prevent the passage of essential funding
Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007It takes a simple majority to pass bills unless the Senate refuses to allow a vote. Cheney proved that when he broke a tie in a 50/50 vote on several occasions from 2001-2006! And your point would be? That the Constitution worked? Only because the Dem
Reply By: danielostPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007This Blog is about stopping the Iraq war funding by the GOP in the Senate! no this blog as all of your blogs is to attack bush.now since you are a coward.answer me this why don't the democrats want to get out of Afghanistan Because that is where 9/11
Lets see what the voters think in November 2008 if vital functions are stopped because the GOP blocks the funding by preventing a vote in the Senate or by refusing to override a Bush Veto.
Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007When are you going to concede that a simple majority of Congress is not all that is needed to enact legislation? That the Constitution is responsible for the very thing you are bitching so loudly about? That your opinion does not constitute that of 50% of our population plus one?
Reply By: danielostPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007where were you when the dems wouldn't allow any votes on judges. this took place for 6 years. This Blog is about stopping the Iraq war funding by the GOP in the Senate!
danielostNovember 17, 2007 14:37:48Reply #26 Which candidate got more votes in the 2000 election? bush got the electoral college votes which are the ones that count. gore got the popular vote which do not count. Bush got the Electoral College Vote only because 3,500 votes for Gore in Palm Beach County were not counted due to the ballot confusion!
Reply By: danielostPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007as for the troops running out of money. i would say it was everyones fault. except the troops.

Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Saturday, November 17, 2007Better read the Constitution. Congress NOT the President has the final say on the Budget. The problem we have is that Bush does not understand the meaning of some very basic words. He sent a REQUEST for funding to Congress. That does not mean DEMAND. Bush got use to having Congres
The spending issue goes far beyond Iraq. Bush is attempting to set the spending levels HE WANTS in ALL areas of the government. He must be made to understand that is not within his authority!
