Republicans Plan to Block Iraq Debate, Kentucky's Chinless wonder is mad

Chinless wonder Mitch McConnell upset that he has no chin, threatens to have
a temper tantrum if the senate gets a chance to vote on Iraq,




WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said Friday that his
party would unite to block Senate debate next week on a bipartisan resolution opposing President Bush’s
troop buildup in Iraq unless the Democrats allowed votes on at least two Republican alternatives.

“We’re in a position to insist on a procedure for considering these matters that we think is fair to us,” said Mr.
McConnell, who has been negotiating the framework of the debate with Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the
majority leader. “We can’t dictate the outcome necessarily, but we’re insistent upon a process that we are
comfortable with.”

Mr. Reid responded that the Republican leadership was essentially filibustering a debate of Iraq policy to avoid a
judgment on Mr. Bush.

1. Filibuster?
Wait... didn't the repigs say that the Democrats were wrong in using it a while back, they wanted an up or down vote?

And yes, the chinless man should be in the circus, that is just sad....

3. If the republicans can add the word Democrat to our
lexicon (vs Democratic) I want to add Chinless Wonder, Mitch McConnell
or Senator Chinless of Kentucky.

The White House knows a non binding resolution is just the start
to a binding resolution which will cut of funding for this disaster.

"I support the troops, bring 'em home."

5. I would laugh but I am from Ohio
Blackwell, Taft, Noe, Mrs. Noe, Bob Ney, and many others.

@ least 2 of them are in jail now.

Maybe we can find an Island in the middle of the Ohio River and just put them all there.
