Republicans Plan to Block Iraq Debate

[spanone]

Remember when these same shits were crying about an up or down vote?

~snip~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.

1. If I didn't know any better, I'd think we live in two different countries.

Message received: war 'good' for rethugs, bad for Dems?
And don't forget, McConnell's wife works for this admin in some capacity

2. Where's the rotting fruit when you need it?

That's the 'do as we say, not as we do' group.

3. They can talk all they want, but they can't stop the debate!

Hey Mitch! You're in the minority...REMEMBER?

How many have died since the election?

7. does anyone remember the dems acting like this in the minority?

I don't. Is it that the republicans are acting tougher than the dems did, or is it that the media is covering it?

12. More importantly, are the Democrats going to make the Republicans pay a price for this?

8. This Is What Screwed 'Em in '06...Keep It Up!!!!

People want answers about what's going on in Iraq. A vast majority want our troops out of there and now while boooshie tries for one last plunder. These goons don't care about the nearly 70% who disapprove of this regime or their corrupt party...they're trying to hang onto the 40 to 50% of their remaining party that are just as selfish, arrogant and careless as they are.

As we've seen time and time again, hypocrisy and integrity mean zero to these toadstools. All they see is short term "victories" and profits. As expected they'll stonewall any look into Iraq to give the crooks inside their ranks to try to make clean escapes.

9. Mitch McConnell is determined to destroy America

I'm now convinced that he is a stark raving lunatic. I used to think he was just an idiot. Truth is, he's far worse and more dangerous.

Mitch, newflash buddy: You LOST. You're in the MINORITY.

God how I hate these bastards.

10. Hey Dems, remember the Nuclear Option hanging over your heads????

That road travels in both directions.

11. YES, and this would be the debate for it!
