It’s a sign of desperation - the Rats can’t afford to wait until September and face the possibility that the news then from Iraq will be positive - they have to roll the dice now and try to force a surrender to bolster their own domestic political prospects.
I think yours could be a good approach. Call their bluff. Let them suffer the fallout.
The Warner amendment probably would have gotten 60 votes. So this way, we don’t get stuck with that amendment, BUT we can argue that not only is Reid blocking troop funding, but he also refused to give a vote to a popular Iraq measure.
Even if he gets his votes and this passes, the President could veto and they do not have the votes to override. Thus, this is going no where.
This is pure folly to appease the moonbats!
I’d like to see a comparison as to how the GOP in Congress during Clinton’s Kosovo/Bosnian escapades acted. I know they opposed one of the two, but I don’t recall them playing these sort of games.

I think the 2008 fiscal year begins Oct.1, 2007 and runs until Sept. 30, 2008.
It would be a tie and not a majority change. wouldn’t it?
. . . . . .
Reid’s bluffing! He’s down to his last hand. This is a hail-mary for the moonbats.
This bill that Harry Reid is going to pull or has pulled is packed with hate crimes laws that Ted Kennedy loaded it up with so George Bush would have to sign it. The liberal bastards manage to screw us either way we turn.
Just another “Cut and Run” loser dimocrat!
If al-Qaeda has an equivalent to the Medal of Honor, Harry certainly deserves it.
The Republicans could get around this by allowing a vote, knowing President Bush will veto it. Get all the senators ON RECORD in an election cycle, for or against surrender.
Then Harry has to bring back the Defense bill, since he’s only tabled it to get a vote on the surrender bill.
Win-win.
Let’s make sure that get themselves labeled as the SURRENDER party....
Keep the intensity up. Our warriors down range are fighting 24/7 in some of the most brutal conditions on earth....Their flanks back home deserve to be guarded from the DEMS/MSM.....It is the GOP bases job to guard their flanks (with not buts or ifs....just do it. Rally together and let's do it).
Keep the intensity on D.C. and on the MSM.

No VP cheney makes it a majority
I believe so. Cheney breaks the tie.
For about five minutes, then one of the liberal republicans will break to independent and caucus with the democrats.
Harry Reid can go f-— himself
This guy is amazing. He keeps putting himself and his party in positions in which they cannot win even if they did win. But Reid is true the fundamentals of the Democrat Party, surrending to the bad guys on foreign soil and overtaxing the good guys at home.
