I think it was only a year ago that they threatened the "nuclear option" to remove that debate tactic entirely, and I know of at least 2 times they used it since they lost control of congress...

Dr. Debate, I can read, and the headline from today's USA today reads: "Democrats fail to overcome GOP filibuster on Iraq"

No. I think everyone saw it coming and expected it to happen eventually. Certainly one would expect politicians to use every option available to get their way. The same way I expect Democrats will go after a revenge impeachment. Politicians, they all suck.

They are jockeying for our attention.
It was on the withdrawl time line wasn't it.
I think they are behind the times. The truth is out. We know who the corrupt members are.
They should be coming up with a new good reason for killing our men. Since the original Weapons of Mass destruction lie has been revealed.
I don't know about you but it is not worth 4000 Americans and 100,000 Iraqi lives to be their to rebuild. Unless they can find a way to rebuild safly and with the people of Iraqi blessing we should get out of their and turn are efforts elsewhere.
It has never been a plausible story of terrorist in Iraqi. The terrorist have money and left the country as soon as the towers were hit knowing this would be an excuse to attack. They are scattered through the world now.

Oh yeah, those "stunning" revolutionary States........ enable's look at that heavily; Michigan....broke and between the optimal unemployment expenditures. manhattan.... very almost broke, taxed to the factor of citizens leaving in droves, or generations of households residing below the comparable roof! New Jersey.....broke, attempting to advance tax expenditures, however the citizens are beginning as much as tell the State government the place to flow. Oh, and enable's no longer ignore Illinois and its corrupt Chicago "thug" politics! i've got lived interior the north interior the revolutionary States and city section. Lived the place the "way of existence is rich", have faith me, i'd quite stay interior the south any day. you may save your "northern techniques-set" up there and watch your "way of existence" implode, i will stay interior the South BTW, universal Liberal.....you declare Conservatives are utilising race as bait, yet you won't be able to link to a minimum of one credible source of information!

I didn't know they said anything about nuclear option. I think it is apparent there is a problem with how our contry is being managed when the house/senate is split, and they are in dead-lock. It is like half the contry doesn't agree with the other. It seems kinda funny and unproductive.

Whatever happened to the importance of demanding an "Up or Down" decision ?
Such fickle protectors of American public issues, eh?
