Per Durbin, rethugs want to fililbuster Webb's amendment, to get the

[babylonsister]

troops more time to recuperate between tours. Man, how low will they go? How can they even justify that?

[malaise]

1. Let them

All young men and women will know who does not care for the troops.
Rethugs have no way out of this mess - the fugging gig is over.

[redqueen]

4. But then it's not as if there's a dearth of evidence

damning them for that already.

There seem to be a sizeable number of people who just will not (do not want to) see.

[malaise]

5. Then why is Bush polling at between 26 and 29%

The gig is over.

[redqueen]

8. ... was referring to that tiny percentage.

I doubt any amount of evidence will ever sway them.

[ClassWarrior]

6. Yup. Either way they're screwed...

...and that's a beautiful thing.

NGU.

[MiniMe]

7. Let them, as long as the Dems are shouting about it to anybody that will listen

Repeatedly, on every talk show, on the senate and house floors. The repub senators don't want our troops to have more time between tours of duty, and are NOT supporting the troops. Aren't 21 of them up for re-election? Shout it out long and loud

[laylah]

2. I share your disdain,

babylonsister but you must keep in mind those bastards don't have to justify ANYTHING. They have had carte blanch for 12 years, they are not about to give it up until it is ripped from their thieving hands!

[zabet]

3. Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut on the bottom of the Marianna Trench.

:grr:

[spanone]

9. Get the word out. repigs do not support our troops

this is exactly the words they would use along with obstructionists.

[babylonsister]

10. EXACTLY. nt

[IChing]

11. McCain is up rambling about what?

I don't get his point.

[babylonsister]

12. Jet lag? Me neither. He's arguing about how Dems and rethugs argue.

:crazy: Lots of statements, nothing will get accomplished.

[babylonsister]

13. He wants to discuss ONLY appropriations, doesn't want the Iraqi war

mixed in with it.

[Strawman]

14. The lack of comity in the Senate anymore.

:nopity:

Maybe we should display the comity of the Bill Frist-led Senate and just call up a Republican bill and entirely rewrite it in conference, one that they are completely shut out of.

When we have a Democratic president who won't veto stuff, we can pay them back for that tactic.

[trashcanistanista]

15. He has no point.

He is a bumbling idiot. What is he doing there? Hasn't he missed like most of the last few sessions and not voted?

[damntexdem]

16. Whatever happened with this. Was there a vote? A decision on cloture?

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Way to support the troops, repugnicants!

How 'bout these low lifes repukes take the place of the troops between tours? Sounds like a plan!

[WCGreen]

18. It will make for great campaign commercials if they do...
