quote:
Bush ALREADY went to Congress for money for the War. Congress ALREADY gave him the money he asked for. Bush WASTED THAT MONEY, and is now looking for a handout to cover up for his continuing Fiscal Irresponsibility. How often you give your kids money, when they're throwing it away? All perfectly accurate fargle. Which is why, after President Bush vetoes this bill and sites as a cause not only the Senates calender assigned surrender date, but the $300 Million in wasted pork spending; the "screws" will be put to the party in charge who had the power not to repeat the prior errors you identify. The more cowardly and they are to cleanly cut off spending the more support they'll lose from the fundamentalist pacifists that put them in power in the first place. Meanwhile their spending provisions will warn the fiscal responsible what they can expect if the entitlement party comes to power. As I said after the election, if I believed in conspiracies the republicans couldn't created a better scenario to win in 2008 than to lose as they did in 2006. How many, "Democrats Surrender" or "Reid says We Lost" banners will blossom as we get closer to 2008? People who write to their representatives, read and post to political messages boards, and generate independent thought without concern to political party identity will not be affected. Representing a huge majority are people who don't, and only get their "news" from TV's talking heads. "Middle American" doesn't take to being identified as "losers" or "surrendering". This easily could have been turned around and used to lead, instead it will be used for politics. Well, if a naive, politically ignorant, poor communicator like me can draw 'buzz-word' poster language from this bill how will someone like Rove exploit this during an election? Instead of how we got there, the focus will be on surrendering to get out. The example of Vietnam will be turned around to point to what happened there to the people after we left and the images of helicopters being dumped into the ocean, and the embassy being evacuated will be shown. I could be wrong, but there is a huge block of voters who don't want to see those same images in Iraq. They wont vote for a party who solicited surrender and losing; even if both are correct. You were accurate when you said this is politics as "normal". I just couldn't believe that's what everyone, including myself, voted for when they screamed for a change last November.
