Warnings To Bush From Some Senators

    As 2006 comes to a close we have a few simple words of warning to the idiot up in the White House.

   The first one comes from Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) who made an appearance on Fox News Sunday with host Chris Wallace to talk about the crap in Iraq. Sen. Lugar pretty much told Bush that he might want to consider consulting with Congress on what he plans to do with the Iraqi situation.      Here is the transcript from the show.

    Next we have Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) on CNN's Late Edition Sunday.

GOP Sen. Specter: I'm Not Giving Bush A "Blank Check" For Troop Escalation...

Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) appeared with Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) on CNN's Late Edition Sunday morning to talk about the situation in Iraq and their recent trip to the Middle East. The senator's views did not line up on many issues, the most glaring of which was the debate over whether to have a troop escalation in Iraq, or whether to begin the withdrawal of troops.

Specter went "on the record" as saying he did not support escalation, he is "inclined to support the conclusions of Jim Baker", and he is "not going to give the President a blank check."

Happy New Year!

Finally! 2006 is almost over! It has been one hell of a year for many of us, has it not?
We have an adult congress coming in to run the show in just a few short days! My hope is that 2007 will be a year of responsibility for our political employees and maybe some real healthcare for those in the U.S. who cannot afford any by their own means.
Maybe that punk in the White House will wise up and begin to bring our men and women home from the pit in Iraq!
I hope that everyone has a very great 2007 and that all of our lives improve in some way this year!
Have a safe New Years Eve celebration everyone!
