[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. and they don't want to spend any more money on it

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. And they want their elected leaders to REPRESENT!

[ClassWarrior]

3. Herb Kohl heard that message BUT GOOD this morning...

...from about 50 constituents in his offices. Hopefully it'll help.

NGU.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. No one could have foreseen anti-war people would be angry.

[Maggie_May]

5. Murtha say 200 not 50 billion for Iraq

[Just-plain-Kathy]

6. K & R because I love Murtha. He speaks for me. ..n/t

[Maggie_May]

7. After primary Repuks jump ship

[rateyes]

8. "Unhappy" is

an understatement. I'm damned pissed off.

[Maggie_May]

11. ME TO!

[AllyCat]

9. Excuse me, but didn't Murtha vote FOR the additional $$ last time?

I could have sworn he was on the list. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Yea... now you've got it. I wondered why Murtha was quiet.

[Maggie_May]

12. Looks like there going to get the money

Murtha is saying hopefully Repuks will jump ship after the primary. This bullshit!

[European Socialist]

13. I like Murtha, but waiting for Repukes to turn against Bush...

is a lot of hooey. The power of the purse is with Congress and Pelosi and Reid control the agenda and the people want the war ended. It's spine time.

[superkia]

14. If our candidates wouldnt have sold their souls for political reasons...

we wouldn't even be there.

Here's Kucinich in 2002 and why he voted against the war and against all future funding:

MR. RUSSERT: Congressman, you made a very strong charge against the administration and let me show you what you said on January 19. “Why is the Administration targeting Iraq? Oil.” What do you base that on?

REP. KUCINICH: I base that on the fact that there is $5 trillion worth of oil above and in the ground in Iraq, that individuals involved in the administration have been involved in the oil industry, that the oil industry certainly would benefit from having the administration control Iraq, and that the fact is that, since no other case has been made to go to war against Iraq, for this nation to go to war against Iraq, oil represents the strongest incentive.

HERE IS THE MEDIA'S AND MANY OTHERS FAVORITE CANDIDATE IN 2002 BEFORE VOTING FOR THE WAR AND FUTURE FUNDING:

And perhaps my decision is influenced by my eight years of experience on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House watching my husband deal with serious challenges to our nation.

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.





I HOPE AMERICANS WAKE UP TO WHATS GOING ON BEFORE THE PRIMARIES?

[The Stranger]

15. The "Democratic" Leadership has abandoned the Party Base and some have become WAR PARTY.
