Tomorrow the House will vote on their Iraq supplemental spending bill which mandates a troop withdrawal from Iraq by the fall of 2008. I would imagine that tension are at the boiling point right about now and that there is quite a bit of behind the scenes talk going on over who will support this bill and on whether the leadership can get a few of the blue-dog Democrats to sign on.
Word has it that Rep. James Walsh ( R ) will vote NO on the bill despite being hammered almost non-stop by MoveOn-sponsored ads and by the blogger's out in reality land.
The House Democrat leaders still think that this bill can still pass even if only by a tiny margin.
There are a few other Democrats who do not like this bill and they are Reps. Barbara Lee, Lynne Woolsey, and Maxine Waters. The Democratic leaders have apparently quit trying to talk to these three "because they're lost causes." There seems to be no hope for winning over Reps. Dennis Kucinich and John Lewis as a source has said that they are "beyond gone." Source

I have a question for you. If this bill does pass in the House on Thursday, what will happen to it when it reaches the floor of the Senate? Would anyone care/ dare to take a guess? I say that it will die a horrible death just as has anything else dealing with Iraq when it comes to the Senate and Democrat bills. 0 and 6. That is what the Democrats are in the Senate when it comes to getting anything passed of importance and I see no reason for this to change in the near future. 0 and 6 because there are many criminal and immoral Republicans, and a few Democrats, voting our United States soldiers into death! They are killing our friends and our neighbors and they do not seem to care one way or the other. they are sending our friends and neighbors to Iraq with old equipment that wouldn't stop a B-B gun or a firecracker in a real fight.
Our friends and neighbors have to save up money from out of their own pockets to buy some of the vests and other equipment that their loved ones ( our troops ) need in order to survive because the money that President Bush spends for the military isn't going to the military.
The Democratic leaders and the blue-dog Democrats need to get their shit together and I do mean now! Not tomorrow only but the day after and so on because many people like myself are getting tired of this losing battle that the Democrats want to keep indulging in.
A House divided cannot stand, literally. If this House insist on nit-picking over something so simple as stopping this Iraq bullshit, this House will definitely fall in 2008!
If the Congress and the Senate cannot beat a lifetime loser like George Bush into submission, the American public has no use for you.
Keep this in mind!
