Has anyone heard the word "Non-binding" used in MSM in reference to

[patrice]

the timeline in the appropriations bill?

I've heard probably 10 references to the veto thus far today AND not one mention of the fact that the timeline is NON-BINDING. That makes the Democrats appear MUCH more interfering than it would if this fact were mentioned.

See? Dems, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, so you might as well get hung for a wolf than as a lamb!!

:grr:

1. Thanks, didn't realize that the timeline is non-binding in this bill

Barely watching news but it's all about Immigration??

2. It's an entirely DIFFERENT situation to have a non-binding timeline

than it is to have a mandatory one.

Listen to all of the media you'll hear on this topic and count the number of times you hear "non-binding" relative to the total number of times that you hear references to the appropriations and the veto. I gaurantee you, "non-binding" WILL be a small fraction of the total number of mentions of the appropriations and the veto.

This makes the Democrats appear just as Rove says they are, interfering. What clearer evidence does anyone need that there is NO SUCH THING as a Liberal Media?

3. If you are not a dedicated listener to the news you miss the

"throw away" lines, like non-binding. Basicly the media touts george's steadfastness, ha, resolute, ha, determination to keep killing our troops for his cause. How he says he listens to all sides, then declares he will still veto.

According to MSNBC a few minutes ago they were going to update us on the "Missing Girl in Aruba"!?

4. Patrice! Is that you on Thom Hartmann?

[patrice]

5. Yep. That was fun! I really admire Thom!

I hope our Democrats in Congress get the feedback!!

They should stop listening to their consultants and start listening more to what is going on, e.g. MSM is NOT being honest about the timeline in the appropriations bill.

They should think more about doing what is right and less about what Rove is going to say about them, because Rove is NEVER going to play anything honestly straight.

On edit: I hope you'll engage in this experiment with me. I'm going to keep a notepad handy and tally the number of times I hear references to the appropriations bill and the number of times I hear the word non-binding and then I'm going to fax our Democrats in this Congress (again).

7. Excellent job!

I have not heard the words non-binding yet. I'll be listening.
