Freeper response To Pelosi declaring Democratic defeat
-------

but,but,but I thought America spoke in Nov 06, hmmm

-------

The Republicans needs to pounce on this

-------


But...but...they said it was the will of the American people... So which is it, guys: Are you liars, gutless wonders, or both?

-------

Once again the dhimmicrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Poor widdle dhimmicwatsQ

-------

Bush Wins! First prize - 2 years in Iraq.

-------

Let’s check out on how Blue Dogs stand on this issue. Particulary Congressman Heath Shuler of North Carolina.

-------

“We can’t pass something without the president’s signature and the president can’t pass something without our agreement,” Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters. “So we can be at a standoff and go back and forth at each other, or we can come to an agreement.”

What a cheap cop-out, just admit you lost!

-------

Interesting Hoyer is the point man on admitting defeat.

----------



Blue Dogs may be trying to spin this as a compromise but they are fooling no one.

5. Did you see Sen. Russ Feingold's post over at dKos?
This situation is a collapse for Democrats. We had a strong start, pushed back against the President’s failed policy and held our ground that the supplemental should include binding language to end the war. But now, as Congress gets ready to send the President a bill that does nothing to get our troops out of Iraq, we are just folding our cards. As one person commented under Greg Sargent’s great post at TPM cafe, "Send the Congressional Dems over to my place for some poker - I could use a windfall right now."

This is no time to back down. This fight to end the war isn’t something that we can just put off or kick down the road. As mcjoan pointed out, it doesn’t make any sense to wait until this "mythical September" when Republicans will suddenly decide that we need to get out of Iraq. Why should this wait until September? First Americans had to put up with a Republican Congress that did nothing, and now we are faced with a Democratic Congress that is giving the President exactly what he wants – continuing his failed policy and leaving our troops stuck in the middle of a civil war. Some strategy. We can’t back down when the stakes are so high. I know you’ll keep ratcheting up the pressure, and that’s exactly what we need right now. Now is the time to be pulling out all the stops to end the war.

He sounds as dejected as the rest of us.

There is some talk at dKos that this bill is not final.

6. Well, I'm meeting Steny Hoyer at a fundraiser for John Hall in June.
It's a reception/discussion and fundraiser for John Hall (NY-19), but Steny Hoyer is the featured speaker.

By the time he leaves the premises, methinks Hoyer will have smoke coming out of his ears and ass (when we're through reaming him)

It's gonna be fun.

8. Hoyer is a favorite over at Freeperville
They like Hoyer a lot.

But Freeperville likes the Blue Dogs so of course Hoyer being one of Freepers' favorites shouldn't be a surprise.
