Did they blink? Or am I missing something?
Blinked for now, and start the fight all over again in Sept.
Dems are severely overplaying their hand.
They didn’t blink. They’ll attack from a different direction Did you notice the war funding bill will include a minimum wage increase. Two different subjects, even though not ‘PORK’. The wart funding bill should be clan without and other issues. But no it will not be.
Bush has already signed on to Amnesty, No Child Left Behind, Free Prescription Drugs, Campaign Finance Reform, the Law of the Sea and he will soon agree to Benchmarks for iraq.
Bush is blinking so fast, he appears to be asleep.
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.
They didn’t blink. That was the plan all along.
God bless President Bush. God bless our troops. God bless America.
By the time the Bush haters get done, Bush certainly caved.
What? This still hasn't passed? I thought GrannyNanny was going to accomplish this, like, instantly. During her first 100 hours (or are we still in the first 100 hours?) I did hear it got held up because Republicans demanded a corresponding tax break for businesses. Otherwise, a minimum wage hike = loss of jobs, and we all know it.
They blinked. Blanked. Blunk.
Yes, they blinked.
I hope all the naysayers on the Free Republic learn something, that the Democrats can be beaten if confronted.
I’ve got to agree with many of the comments posted here. I do believe that this is a juggling act for the Democrats between Iraq timelines and the juicy, abundant Latino vote that comes upon passing the amnesty bill.
Here’s the thing that the Democrats miss, over and over and over again:
It’s better to go down in flames and LOSE while fighting for something you truly believe in than it is to sell yourself out for the quick win.
All of the Democratic chest-thumping over Iraq has been a sham. They’ve been playing to their own base. They want power, plain and simple. The only problem is that once they get past their tough talk, they have nothing, other than a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage stance. In my circle of acquaintance, that’s two strikes. So they give up their “highly principled” stand on the Iraq war and hope that 12 million legalized illegal aliens will put Hillary in the White House.
That will happen when pigs fly. The Democrats have nothing except hot air and photo ops.
Yes, the payment to Democrats is in AMNESTY bill.
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...
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.
