WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Democrats said Tuesday the White House's latest veto threat would not dissuade them from pushing ahead on legislation calling for combat troops to come home from Iraq within one year.

As the Senate debated the bill Tuesday, the White House issued another stern warning to Congress that the president would reject any legislation setting a timetable on the war.

"That's not surprising from a White House that has stubbornly refused to change course even in the face of dwindling support from American people whose sons and daughters are dying" said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.

1. The WH does not give a flying f**k

what the American people think or about the welfare of the GOP, or the Christian right for that matter, it was all a vehicle to power, nothing more.
And they only have two years left=so much money to made, so little time.:sarcasm:

2. And at this moment, Lieberman is slobbering all over the TV

I was having a couple of beers, ranting on this site and this - - Lieberman logic all over the place. That man (?) is equal to bush.

3. When you are working against an idiot like *ss sometimes the

only thing to do is just keep pushing. We are doing several things by that process: education for those who are not yet convinced that he is a jerk and allowing him to place the blame squarely where it belongs - on him and the last pug congress. They own this war and most of the other issues that are coming up, let them pay the consequences.

I realize that there are people dying and it should end NOW but if we cannot get that then we need to let the world know we want it stopped.

I think that we are headed toward an impeachment with the gathering of records but that will take time. I remember how long the investigation into Watergate and Bill's blow job took. We are well on the way with the demand for records/evidence by the various committees. That in the end is what will get us out of Iraq.
