Yahoo has an AP article posted on this with some interesting statements.

An excerpt from the article:

Reid’s new strategy faces an uphill battle because many of his colleagues see yanking funds as a dangerous last resort.

Dangerous?

Sound Bite #1: I support the troops but we really needed that additional domestic funding. It’s not MY fault, it’s Bush’s fault as this was the only way that funding could make it into any bill due to republican interference of the democratic process.

Sound Bite #2: It was my understanding that the timetable provision is only a recommendation and I voted for the bill based on that understanding. It is my understanding that the bill addressed the president’s war funding request and actually increased funding for other badly needed domestic issues.

Sound Bite #3: If the president wasn’t bogged down by this illegal and immoral war in Iraq, he would understand that the funding bill contained more than just military funding. This bill also contained badly needed domestic funding. Perhaps the timetable idea is a good one as it will force the president to address other, more imperative domestic issues that he and the republicans always seem to ignore.

Theoretical? Have you checked dKos, DU or The View lately? My worry is that anything left on Mars will file a formal grievance over how we’ve dumbed down their pioneers.

There’s some people who believe that if you cut all the funding off, you leave our soldiers and, and, and military people exposed, and that they’d have no money and then we’d go back to the scene we had in Vietnam where we’re fleeing by helicopter.

I suppose the only thing that’s changed in the last 30+ years is that the modern Democrats are giving friend and foe a date certain to expect that last helicopter. Way to go, patriots… you score high marks for consideration!

And at least we won’t have any of those pesky boat people this time around.

I can’t be the only one that views this is a rapid decay of the Republic? In the grand scheme of things this is more important then the fact that the vote was about a war.

I wonder how Keith Ellison feels about all the pork?

I wonder why we keep electing these idiots into office?

I wonder if we are not our own worse enemy?

Inquiring Minds want to know. The Inquirer, a check out line magazine worth reading while Tivo-ing the view.

Priorities folks, priorities.

Recall when Harry Reid said this last November: "We’re not going to do anything to limit funding or cut off funds," says Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.Four months later: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he will try….

Where the hell is the outrage from anyone? Rangel admits to buying votes with taxpayer money and not a peep.

Again, I believe he is referring to votes on the bill. Trust me I am no fan of Charlie Rangel but let’s be careful in what we say also.

I know it is a little late but I thought it necessary to post.  Here is a look at what it cost to buy the……

Never forget. This is what American voted for and it could get worse.

Yeah, you go Chuck!
