The republicans stopped peace in the middle east, and instead, voted to continue US combat participation in Iraq's civil war.
220 democrats voted to override Bush's veto; 2 republicans did so too
196 republicans sided with the notion of keeping US troops involved in the Iraq civil war.
The republicans own the Iraq debacle.

They in effect own the Senate.
I sure hope we get some VALIDATABLE elections soon.
All the un-validatable electronic voting machines need to be squashed in Car Crusher machines.
Paper and pencil is the answer.

Link... "President Bush and congressional leaders began negotiating a second war funding bill yesterday, with Democrats offering the first major concession: an agreement to drop their demand for a timeline to bring troops home from Iraq."
I love the dems...only they could lose support at a time like this.
Impeachment...off the table
Troops home...ah, maybe later
Country in general...ah, fuck it, it's not like we need to work...we have G-Dawg in OH to do that

Lets see, the republicans resist the bill and then veto it, and you blame the dems who authored and passed the bill?

You said "Impeachment...off the table"
You might like to take note of:
Two Democratic members of Congress have joined Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) in co-sponsoring articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney. One accused Cheney of an "arrogant abuse of power" that "needs to stop."
(Raw Story). Impeachment, by constitutional law, must begin in the House of Representatives. It has begun, because the bill has been filed and has co-sponsors. Cheney must be impeached first so he does not become president if Bush is impeached first.
It will not pass because republicans will oppose it and it will not get 2/3 majority.
So here is a simple question for you: what party is protecting preznit blush? Extra points for spelling the party name correctly.

This is how I see it...
People that care...Kucinich, Dredd, GOVERNOR CRIST, Brad, immigrants in LA, people of New Orleans, potential draftees(if not this war, than the next), anyone who needs a pay check and food(that's me)...
Corporate/elite/contol Party...Bush, Cheney, Pelosi, Obama, Clinton(both), Reid, Gore, Jim Matheson(D) (I love his form letters)...
Until the people that care take away, and control, the power that the corporate party has now--->NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!!

Who are the co-sponsors??? How many dems are putting their asses on the line to stop the insanity?? Give me a good reason to support the dems...my brother is on his way to IRAQ, if he's not there already.
"Democrats offering the first major concession: an agreement to drop their demand for a timeline to bring troops home from Iraq."

Sure, I'll vote for Matheson(D) after I get to join Gold Star Families for Peace, my house has been foreclosed on, and I'm living off food stamps(if we still have that).
