They blinked. This Iraq fight has been dragging the Dems down in the polls, along with Bush. They want to move on to their domestic pet causes.

...like making the unions who helped them during the last election happy?

"The Dems don’t want to actually impact anything in Iraq. That would make them responsible for the results. Granted, the majority of Americans appear to want the war over. However, let’s say them Dems cut off funding, Bush brings the troops back home, and a massive civil war breaks out in Iraq drawing in Turkey, Syria, Iran, etc. (the likely result of removing troops now) Hundreds of thousands dead, massive ethnic cleansing, not to mention possible terrorist strikes on the U.S. If that occurs, what will the American public think of the Dems move to pull the troops out? They will likely view them as incompetent and that will impact the results of the 2008 election."

That makes sense.

I think many are too disgusted to even chime in at DU.

Should be a fun thread over there.

I’m concerned.

The RATS are caving on a timeline.

The Senate caved on immediate passage of the amnesty bill.

Are they putting something different in the water in Wash DC?

“hmmmm - Amnesty bill for a war budget bill? Hmmmm”

Bush has always wanted amnesty for his preferred people.

Veto his own bill? Why would he do that?

“All hat no cattle.”

The accent is fake too.

I wouldn’t count on that - even if Bush cared that much about the GOP.

It was Republicans who got the Civil Rights Act passed while Gore’s father and Clinton’s mentor, Fullbright - both dim senators - among many other dim senators tried their best to stop it.

It was Lincoln - the first Republican president who freed the slaves. Yet who do blacks knee jerk to - the DIM party.

The truth is what the dim media and the skoolz say it is. They’ve done a very good job of re-writing history and they will do the same with their new illegal voters.

My favorite guy has not announced yet and that is Senator Fred Thompson. I hope he will announce soon, the 4th of July will be a great timing. From the current crowd, I “prefer” Mitt Romney followed by Duncan Hunter.

If it is a top priority to give a minimum wage increase, why did the Democrats not support it LAST year when the Republicans were pushing it?

Bush shocked the hell out of’em by not caving like the prison b!+ch he is on domestic issues. They’re probably still stuttering in disbelief: “b-b-b-but h-he *always* caves in to take the blame himself!”

Not on foreign policies, ladies...

I’m thinking there was a trade-off here for the immigration legislation.

That’s exactly what I was thinking !! LOL!

Then I thought maybe it was some kind of joke!

If this is true .. the left’s “kooks” will be raging mad.

No tradeoff required. He just has a Congress he can work with now.

What trade-off?

President has always been for what is in the immigration bill.

No, this was a win for the President.

Dems are severely overplaying their hand.

Absolutely.
