Reid planned to try again Friday with another anti-war proposal by Sen. Carl Levin,


Reid planned to try again Friday with another anti-war proposal by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. Levin's bill would order combat troops home in nine months. But that too was expected to fail, with Republicans saying they still opposed setting a firm deadline on the war.

Democrats had considered trying to push milder legislation, if doing so would mean attracting the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. But calculating they wouldn't have the votes either way, Reid announced this week he planned to offer only legislation that set a deadline to end the war.

In a White House news conference Thursday, Bush said the MoveOn.org ad was "disgusting" and he criticized Democrats for not immediately condemning it.

Warner, Specter, Lugar...

We should be organizing to pressure these Republicans and not let them think we've forgotten what the moveon ad was about in the first place - ENDING THE DAMN WAR.

The longer a laundry list the Dems have of those who voted with Bush next November, the better.

4. No Deals - Nothing Milder
Let them filibuster. Make them go on record, over and over again. Just keep pushing the legislation. I don't care if not another single thing gets done. And investigate, investigate, investigate!
