Answer 1

How about this?

'Rep. David Obey , D-Wis., was captured on camera by an anti-war group telling activists who confronted him outside his Capitol Hill office that "idiot liberals" don't understand Democrats' strategy for leaving Iraq. In the video, widely circulated on the Web, Obey says liberals are "screwing it up" for lawmakers trying to find the votes to end the war.'

predictable?, yes

Answer 2

No, it wasn't really that predictable. What the Democrats are doing are telling the Bush administration that this is their war since they obviously are no longer conciliatory towards any acceptance of Democratic plans to wind down the war. Bush has pretty much said that he would veto any Democratic plans to withdraw US troops by the end of 2007 or 2008. So the Dems are resigned with no other recourse. They are essentially telling Bush: "OK, you won't compromise, then that's fine. We'll beat you at the polls. The American people are sick of this war. It's all your's."

Answer 3

Brace yourself this is the walls patented analyzation of all the political parties

democrat= idiot with a hint of corruption

republican=corruption with a hint of dellusion

liberal=complete ****** that is overconfident in ideas that could not be more moronic making them not only be an ****** but also make one out of themselves , and they really don't need anymore help with that. They also have pretty much the dem symptoms too

conservitive- I actualy agree with most of their ideas but here is there problem. They try to impose their views on everyone else. Besides that most of them lack integrity to the strict morals the impose on everyone else. O ya and the pretty much got the normal rep symptoms 2.

Independants (me)- smart people who actualy like to think about what they are saying/beleive in. Also they are really cool. (especialy the wall)

Answer 4

I make human beings think of i'm predictable and then do something thoroughly diverse. which includes jogging into my community and requesting the comparable drink, and then sooner or later requesting a various one, or seeming like a humdrum individual and then all at as quickly as turning out to be mad.

Answer 5

LOL, it's nearing election time. The Democrats know better than to kick dirt into the red state's faces. All of those anti-war promises to get elected and this recent half-hearted attempt to limit good 'ole George's authority to continue waging war were meant for nothing more than showmanship and to appease their left wing constituency.

But that's POLITICS American style for ya...

Answer 6

Absolutely. It was a shot across the bow to send a message, but nobody in Congress wants to do anything to further jeopardize our troops. I think we all agree they need our full support whether we agree on the war or not.

Answer 7

Of course it was predictable. What else do you expect from the cut n' run democrats? You've invested your faith in a party that thrives on giving up. This is just another example of the democrats giving up and owning defeat.

Answer 8

See "Long Hairs" question/answers.

But yes, it was a stunt with little serious chance of passing. Some members made points in their ultra-liberal home districts, and that, my friend, was their point. Not the bill actually passing.

Answer 9

Historically yes! Patterns seldom change.

Answer 10

I don't know about predictable, but I found it hilarious. It wasn't quite as good as Pelosi's supporters protesting her in front of her house, though. That was truly awesome.
