49. OK...let's just waste time doing bills that NEVER get passed
Meanwhile, the war goes on...and on...and on...

Passing bills to end the war have to happen incrementally. The problem with the Supplementary bill NOT being passed was partially due to self-important asshole Democrats who don't have a clue how to end the war. If these people had voted for the Supplementary bill, it WOULD BE veto-proof. And gee, guess what. The troops would start coming home by next spring AND the IWR would be declared illegal. As it stands now, they are there to stay. Bumpersticker politics is a deadly game now. Yes, we want the war to end FUCKING YESTERDAY, but until you get legislation that passes WITH ACTUAL VOTES, it's a fantasy.

Thanks to people like Kucinich, the war will continue. The troops will stay there LONGER. Thanks Dennis and all the other dumbasses that couldn't take time to read the Supplementary bill and see that it would have been a hell of lot better than....NOTHING!

:crazy:
