Fund Our Troops, Fund Our Troops…
America needs to send a message to the Democrats and tell them to stop with useless and inane legislation and get down to funding our troops who are at war. They funded the effort already, now they need to get serious and send up legislation without the partisan babble, just the funds.
America needs to start the chant: “Fund Our Troops!, Fund Our Troops!” Bloggers can do this by posting something like this post, with the title, expressing their support of funding our troops so they can protect themselves while in harms way. Citizens can do it by sending emails to Congress with the chant, or calling in and repeating the message. People can make signs and stage protests at local congressional offices. Congress authorized these actions in Iraq, and they funded the war effort already this year, and this is still their responsibility and no one elses. How can we forget what we, as a nation, asked of our military after 9-11:
Democrats must support our military. Fund Our Troops, Fund Our Troops!
You think he was kidding when he said he would veto any bill sent to his desk that put an artificial timeline ? He might have let the pork go, but not the timeline. He has the votes to sustain the veto. He’ll veto it.
Yes, indeed, we want him to veto a pork barrelled bill that is for troop funding.
The dnc talking points are just another attempt by the dems at trying to cover-up what they are doing…WON’T WORK! As usual, the pathlogical ones think they are smarter than everyone else….what a joke.
It doesn’t help that the intent of this too-clever-by-half maneuver is being telegraphed far and wide.
Stage 1: Democrats provide funding, but with the condition that troops retreat from Iraq on a specified date.
Stage 2: The bill is ready to go to the President for his signature NOW, but Senator Reid puts the bill in a file cabinet somewhere and won’t send the bill to the White House until the day AFTER current funding for the troops has already run out. That day is TWELVE DAYS from now.
Stage 3: President Bush vetoes the bill because of the condition that troops retreat, and tells Congress to quit screwing around and send a proper funding bill and stop trying to play Commander in Chief.
Stage 4: Soothsayer and other leftist twits run around pretending to be outraged that President Bush (according to them) refused to fund the troops. (Probably their reaction will be closer to gloating, though.)
Stage 5: The rest of us call the leftist twits on this and tell them that if they are so outraged about the troops not getting funded, then they need to get on the horn to Congress and tell them to send a funding bill that is acceptable to the Commander in Chief of those troops they’re supposedly outraged for, ASAP. NOW. TODAY..
Considering the fact that Bush made it plain that as commander in chief he would not accept any unconstitutional limits on the executive’s authority and considering the fact that we have been listening to the anti war people scream cut the funding for ever and considering the fact that everyone, even liberal analysts know damn well the Congress is trying to cut the funds in a cowardly and under handed fashion and considering the fact that the left has been calling Bush Hitler for years and scream no blood for oil like a bunch of demented loons…the idea that Bush cut the funding will be a hard sell. After all, he is Hitler, right?
No sooth, don’t kid yourself. You are the only person I know right or left who thinks that Bush will get blamed for cutting the troops off.
Reid has just been too damn cute for his own good to even think about passing this off as a good faith gesture.
to quote Dr. Bob.:
the snake is incapable of leaving the earth plane.
“welcome to my world”,says soothsayer.
Okay, I heard the tag line response today, to the call “bring home our troops.”
SO WE CAN BRING IN THE NUKES.
Whatever works.
I think the news from Iraq, with General Patraeus in charge, is working out very well, indeed. We’ve got tanks in the streets. Oodles of patrol vehicles. And, the Nimitz is sailing to the bathtub called “The Gulf.”
We’re coming up to speed, now, in Iraq. Blending in strength, and also giving the Iraqis the feel that it is their country.
By the way, what Harry Reid and the rest of the congress critters are doing, are loading up our military bill with pork. There’s a good chance Bush will veto any bill laden with pork. At least I hope he does. He’s very little else left to build his legacy on.
Though, Iraq, as we work the kinks out, will prove to be a place our military learns how to maneuver in. And, through.
Today’s headlines? Won’t mean a thing by the time it’s turned into fish wrap.
Once again the dims have lowered the bar. When you think they cannot sink any lower, they fool you. All these underhanded tricks is the reason I quit the democratic party.
It is laughable to see the dims accuse the republicans of corruption when the dims wrote the book on this. It is even funnier to see the republicans’ attitude when one of their own falls by the wayside. You sure don’t see any dims resigning anything much when they are caught. On the contrary, they are rewarded. Republicans are castigated and forced out mainly by their own party. All that has to happen is for dims to call for a republican resignation and all the republicans jump on the dim bandwagon. I wonder when the republicans will realize that politics is not just two different parties, both trying to win. Politics to the dims is all out war and anything goes.
The dims cannot let us win in Iraq. This would be political death for them. They will do anything to stop this. The have now defunded the war without voting to do so. This idea of infringing on the executive has to stop. They are three months into power and look at what they have done. I hope all the people who stayed home or voted for a dem because he seemed such a nice man are happy now. I wish the people of this country would realize there are no nice dim politicians. They are all tarred with the same brush.
question for Soothsayer:
So, the DNC has suggested that if President Bush vetos their bill..they will “push the issue”.
Given that the bill contains TWO issues : 1) funding for war operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and 2) provisions for a timetable withdrawal from Iraq……which issue do you think they are suggesting they will “push” ..should Bush veto this bill?
…And which issue do you think Bush is vetoing? (cash for troops..or timeline for withdrawal)?
