Hopefully, he'll veto this RAT-controlled monster. Then the question is: does the RATS have enough power to override a veto?

Guess most of you never hear of a thing called a Fillibuster? It entirely possible the Democrats don't even have enough votes in the US Senate to pass it. They sure don't have the 60 to overcome the fillibuster that will automatically be directed at this bill.

But I know, the knee jerk Bush haters aren't intrested in facts, this just happens to be today;s excuse for the Always Whining Freepers to bitch mindlessly about the President

The Democrats may not even have the 50 votes in the US Senate to pass this. All but one of our RINOS have stated they will not support this. The Dems certainly do not have the 60 votes to stop the Filibuster this will provke and CERTAINLY do not have the 66 votes to over ride the Veto. Just more useless grandstanding and Moveon.org whoring from the Do Nothing Congress

Andrew Jackson would have stormed up to Capitol Hill and shot Murtha, and Teddy Roosevelt would have turned Pelosi over his knee.

Gates basically said yesterday that if he needs the money it will come from the State funding for the National Guard.

I understand the senate rules do not allow a fillibuter of spending bills.

I caution everyone, that not everyone on FreeRepublic is a conservative, or even a republican.

FR is on the radar of many liberal activist groups, and sometimes I feel people forget that.

Several of the trolls have revealed themselves in this thread alone.

Of course we've heard of the filibuster. It's just that the 'Pubs lack the testicular fortitude to even attempt one.

I agree that this bill should be DOA in the Senate.

I'm going to look at the bright side here. As long as Congress spends its time and energy trying pointlessly to stick it to the President, it won't be spending any time on their commie agenda.

That is my question too. Some are filibuster proof, aren't they?

Thanks. I see my local Democrat Weasel Etheridge voted in favor of it. Why my neighbors continue to elect this socialist is beyond me.
