Matthews: "You can get 218 Votes that the money is used only to redeploy" |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-08-07 04:31 PM by FLDem5
Pelosi: "Yes"
Is this their September plan?
(on edit - sorry that was so uninformative - but I got really excited. On Hardball, Pelosi was discussing how to end this war - Matthews asked if they would try with the next funding bill. Pelosi said that strategy would be that Bush would get the money he asked for - but it was to be used only to redeploy the troops. Matthews asked if she could get a veto-proof majority of 218 - she said Yes.)

If you had the votes, then the McGovern amendment would have passed. Instead, Hoyer and the Blue Dogs decided t bolt in the other direction

3. I remember Murtha saying that they didn't have the votes this time |
|
but they would in September. I don't know what the difference will be then, but I am hoping. What else can I do.
Pelosi sounded great on Hardball.

9. It grows closer to the election season |

Pukes want Iraq off the radar before they run again, like they are not accountable.

13. September is the deadline many Republicans have given Bush |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-08-07 05:40 PM by Buck Rabbit
for the surge to work. A group of them met with * and then leaked this deadline for the surge to work to the media. Supposedly some Republican strategists think September is the latest that a vulnerable Republican can stick with Bush and get re-elected in 2008.
Pelosi and Murtha are aware of this, that is why the funding bill was only to September. Will the Republicans in re-election peril bail on this deadline? We will see. But it is a good bet that Gordon Smith and others in deep shit over the war can't wait long to make a walk your talk clean break from Bush.
*edited out meaningless extra words that somehow got in my post.

2. ??? What money, the $100 billion that dems gave Bush to in a blank check? |
|
...$85 billion of that was signed over to subcontractor agreements and only $15 billion goes to American troops. Bush has already blown that money.

15. ...and major contracting companies like Halliburton, it is all about spend and waste |
|
....by Bush and the grand plan to destroy the U.S. Constitutional Democracy so it can be replaced with a corporately run state, perhaps even a monarchy

8. How so? I'm glad to see the Dems taking the offense on this, those voters will never be ours |

Edited on Fri Jun-08-07 04:52 PM by blondeatlast

Thanks--Hardball isn't on in my area yet.
Edit (again): Clip doesn't seem complete, I'll try to watch later, thanks.
