In Surprise Move House GOP Kills War Funding
May 15th 2008 10:30PM
Filed Under:eHouse, Democrats, Republicans, Breaking News, Iraq
The House of Representatives voted on the latest supplemental war-funding bill requested by the president today. But in a strategic twist, 132 House Republicans voted "present" rather than cast yes or no votes, affectively removing their votes from the total. The result was that the funding portion of the bill was defeated 149-141, on the strength of anti-war Democrats' votes.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democratic leadership had decided on a novel strategy to address the war funding measure. It called for the bill to be split into three parts, one each for war spending, non war-related domestic spending, and anti-war policy provisions. The strategy was supposed to make the supplemental more palatable to the anti-war caucus of Democrats in the House while protecting the moderate Blue Dog caucus, whose members could not afford to vote against funding the troops in this election year. But the Republicans' move thwarted the Democrats' plans, saddling them with the defeat of funding for troops in harm's way. After the vote, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) was triumphant.
"[T]he Democratic Majority has chosen to play political games with our troops and delay their funding by at least several more weeks. This is unacceptable, and House Republicans will not be party to such a cynical political ploy. A troop funding bill should fund the troops. Period. The exercise today on the House floor would instead hijack the troop funding bill and use it as a vehicle for billions upon billions in unrelated Washington spending and a $54 billion tax hike on small businesses. This is reckless, it is dangerous, and it must not stand."
The other parts of the supplemental, a non-binding call for troops to be removed from Iraq by the end of next year, and a $52 billion plan to give veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan four-year scholarships to attend college modeled on the G.I. Bill of the 1940s, passed largely on party line votes. Neither measure garnered enough support to override an expected presidential veto.
Republicans claimed that they had prepared a substitute war-funding bill that contained no anti-war provisions and no additional domestic spending. However, that measure was not allowed to come to the floor under the Democrats' rule for considering the proposal. Republicans said that there was enough bi-partisan support in the House and Senate to pass what they dubbed a "clean bill," and charged that the Democratic leadership was simply engaging in election year maneuvering with their complicated three-part process. Democrats, in turn, said that the Republicans' "present" votes amounted to nothing more than a political stunt. House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) said simply, "We won."
The White House has requested $108 billion in funds for the remainder of this fiscal year, which ends on September 30th, and has said that the president will veto any bill that exceeds that funding request. The bill that failed today would have cost $162.5 billion, and likely would have been vetoed anyway, meaning no additional delay was added to the war-funding measure by the Republican strategy. Democrats have debated the handling of this supplemental for weeks, and today's unexpected action by House Republicans clearly put a damper on their plans, despite Chairman Obey's confident assertion of victory. Sooner or later, Democrats will have to vote on funding for the troops, and the Republicans have put them on notice that they will not allow Democrats in the House to use parliamentary tricks to dilute the consequences of their votes. House Democrats would rather vote on the funding as soon as possible to avoid angering their anti-war base right before the election. The Senate will debate the war funding bill next week. Look for quick passage by the Senate and quick concurrence from the House soon after the Memorial Day recess.

I am glad Bush spoke up, even if indirectly. He finally did something right. Does Obama think he is God? He may fool the majority of his followers, but then again, aren't they also the majority of ill read and/or those who are too young to have experienced over taxation, foolish decisions and being hit hard by the IRS. It is hard to have respect for someone whose followers are the ignorant. Obama may actually be the anti Christ.

THERE IS SO MUCH GENUINE HATE IN THIS ELECTION THAT SOMETHING VIOLENT IS LIKELY TO OCCUR. THE PUNDITS SHOULD TONE DOWN THE INCENDIARY COMMENTS, AND BEGIN TO EQUALIZE THEIR COMMENTS BETWEEN THE CANDIDATES. IF THEY WILL JUST GIVE OUT ACCURATE INFORMATION, AND LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE, A LOT OF THIS ANAMOSITY COULD BEGIN TO DISSAPEAR. THE HEAVY BIAS DISPLAYED HAS HURT THE PROCESS VERY BADLY.

"funding the troops"
This isn't a welfare program for our military, it's an occupation of a Middle Eastern country!
carl12:45AMMay 16th 2008
The Republican are playing games. This stupid move has done nothing. Democrats should just not call for any war related bills in the house. This would save money and would force the president to remove the troops or use some of the regular defense $ for the war.
Peggy1:49AMMay 16th 2008
The democrats gained a majority in the House in 2006. So far,they have failed to pass any substantive legislation. Today, they tried to sneak a bill through without any debate in committee or any input from the Republicans. What did Nancy Pelosi think would happen? This woman needs to be voted out of office so she, and the rest of America, can be put out of our collective misery. She postures for the cameras, gives impressive speeches (on occasion) but is all smoke and mirrors when it comes to articulating policy or getting anything does. She's amazingly like Obama in that regard.
CONCERNED8:16AMMay 16th 2008
OBAMA HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES. WE DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THEM UNTIL AFTER HALF OF AMERICA HAD VOTED! HE SIMPLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
“I never heard THOSE kind of sermons from Rev. Wright. I wasn't there” (for 20 years I didn't hear them) A couple of weeks later, “Oh yea, I heard them, but he didn't really mean what he said. I can't disown him he's my crazy old uncle.” Then he said, “I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt”. (What doubt? That he, Rev. Wright wouldn't show his a$$ again?) The Bosnia story was minor compared to the Wright story --- the NAFTA story --- the Rezko story --- the HAMAS story --- and many others.
AND NOW WE LEARN THAT, in 2001, Obama boasted that he helped a handful of “African American-owned” investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business WITH ILLINOIS STATE PENSION FUNDS.
THE OWNER OF ONE OF THE CHICAGO-BASED INVESTMENT FIRMS, JOHN ROGERS OF ARIEL CAPITAL, IS A “PRINCIPAL OBAMA CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER”.
Nor did Obama reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise MORE THAN $765,000 FOR HIS CAMPAIGNS, according to campaign documents.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have ALLOWED HIM TO USE THEIR PRIVATE JETS.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been DISMISSED by the state pension fund for "UNDERPERFORMANCE"!
WHAT ELSE IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HIDING?
HILLARY TO THE END!
Ed8:27AMMay 16th 2008
The president is not asking anyone to support the troops. Rather he is asking for up to support protection for his corporate, war profiteering buddies. If he really supported the troops the would be getting health care and fair compensation for life long injuries. McCain just voted down the G.I. Bill. These people are an embarrassment to us and our history.
EXISTENTIAL BEING9:09AMMay 16th 2008
A unity Ticket with Hillary will definitely destroy the Dems chances of the Presidency! She has way too much baggage and with the false smears cast upon Obama from Hillary as well as the Repubs they will definitely lose! Bill and Hillary played a quick one like they did in Florida and Michigan but not to worry their ploy to reoccupy the White House will fail! Obama just has to find a comparable running mate without all the baggage and his chances of beating Mccain would be dramatically increased!

Diane Clark, you are showing your ignorance. Obama's supporters are demographically blacks of all educational levels and the most "highly educated whites" of all ages. I put the two words in quotes because they have appeared in newspapers and magazines over and over as a descriptor of Obama's support base.

Here we go again, look if you idiots want to keep things the way they are,then vote for John McSame,you fools will get what you deserve,sad to say you will take all of us sane folks with you,down that path of un-nerving bulls***,that you call security. Please, give me a break,the Repub's only concern is POWER,POWER,POWER,not,TRUTH,TRUTH,TRUTH. Truth be told, we could put Mike Tyson in office and we won't have the gaggle of bullshit, lies,schemes,grimey tactics we have now. If this is what this country has come to,and you still are proud of it,and yourselves,then, you should be very happy in someplace like North Korea, where the leader will dis-credit, lie, cheat, and kill any who disagree with them. You bozo's are truly,truly deranged.

John McCain and Ron Paul would rule your lives with an Iron Fist! (Authoritarian Rule) You vote for McCain you lose your Rights and Freedoms! John the sexist would be calling his wife a "CUNT" in the Oval office and she would probably get so stressed she would start abusing drugs all over! John the Sexist would abuse the interns and who knows how far he would go with his Temper and who knows from a man with such a Temper if any physical abuse is involved toward his second wife! John McCain is a loose cannon and his spiritual advisors would disgrace the White House and this Country even further with their Hatred and Imagine someone like that Pip Squeak Ron Paul with his Iron Fist of not Deviating one Iota on the Rights of the Diverse Population!
Ron Paul opposes many issues which would make many cringe and be very fearful of even stepping out of your homes and Blacks especially when the Republican Candidates are backed by White Extremists BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID!

YES I LOVE MY MOTHER BUT YOU ARE THE MAN OF THE HOUSE AND SHE SHOULD OBEY THE WISDOM OF HER HUSBAND BECAUSE HE KNOWS BEST! BARE FOOT AND PREGNANT BAKING COOKIES AND LEAVE THE EARNING OF BACON AND THE AUTHORITY TO THE MAN!
Not very good examples for the new generation and talk about really really being out of touch! Plan on staying in Iraq for the next Hundred years and for you poor Mothers will most likely never see your children ever again, Sad very sad! Can only Imagine listening to a DR. speaking to the Nation, Sorry gotta Leave have to make a Delivey of one of the Interns! Dr. Paul gives his speech you can't understand what the hell he is talking about when his mouth is full of Novacaine! Maybe he should be on standby for Cindy McCain when she slips into depression after being abused by John Dr. Paul can be her supplier! Imagine the Good Time the White House will have with your Money while your Children are fighting their WAR and don't think twice that the Congress will allow the next President to get away with what Bush had gotten away with! McCain has a hair trigger Temper and would wage war with any Country that does not meet his demands and he also meets and/or has met with Terrorists! John McCain has contradicted himself many times and would not think twice about taking away your Rights as a Gun Owner! Don't be fooled!
You don't need to click on links but with the information which is provided decide for yourselves! Be Warned Though your Future would look Bleak with a Republican Administration! We have already found out with Bush but be prepared and scared if another Republican gets into office! The information is all Truth as far as I know!

Top 10 Outrageous Quotes From McCain's Spiritual Advisers
://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5517
Before Jeremiah "Obama's Pastor" Wright spews even more nonsense, and quotes even more ambassadors, we want to shed some light on the brilliant gems uttered by some of McCain's own spiritual advisers, Pastor John Hagee and Reverend Rod Parsley. When Hagee endorsed McCain, because he is a man of principle, McCain said he was "very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement." Reverend Parsley calls McCain a "strong, true, consistent conservative" and McCain calls Parsley "a spiritual adviser." Because the liberal media refuses to give any credit to McCain, it is up to us to be fair and balanced. So here are the top 10 Memorable Quotes said by McCain's religious advisers:
1. "Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."
- Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)
2. "The Quran teaches that [all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews]. Yes, it teaches that very clearly."
-Pastor John Hagee
Living Liberally :: Top 10 Outrageous Quotes From McCain's Spiritual Advisers
3. "I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans...I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that...There was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades.... The Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment."
-Pastor John Hagee
4. "The military will have difficultly recruiting healthy and strong heterosexuals for combat purposes. Why? Fighting in combat with a man in your fox hole that has AIDS or is HIV positive is double jeopardy."
- Pastor John Hagee on Don't Ask Don't Tell
5. "[Gay marriage] will open the door to incest, to polygamy, and every conceivable marriage arrangement demented minds can possibly conceive. If God does not then punish America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah."
- Pastor John Hagee
6. "It is impossible to call yourself a Christian and defend homosexuality. There is no justification or acceptance of homosexuality.... Homosexuality means the death of society because homosexuals can recruit, but they cannot reproduce."
- Pastor John Hagee
7. "Only a Spirit-filled woman can submit to her husband's lead. It is the natural desire of a woman to lead through feminine manipulation of the man...Fallen women will try to dominate the marriage. The man has the God-given role to be the loving leader of the home."
- Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)
8. "I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam. I know that this statement sounds extreme, but I do not shrink from its implications. The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore."
- Rod Parsley in Silent No More (Charisma House, 2005)
9. "Gay sexuality inevitably involves brutal physical abusiveness and the unnatural imposition of alien substances into internal organs, orally and anally, that inevitably suppress the immune system and heighten susceptibility to disease."
- Rod Parsley
10. "Only 1 percent of the homosexual population in America will die of old age. The average life expectancy for a homosexual in the United States of America is 43 years of age. A lesbian can only expect to live to be 45 years of age. Homosexuals represent 2 percent of the population, yet today they're carrying 60 percent of the known cases of syphilis."
- Rod Parsley

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins." Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam
Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion." In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis
John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask
First, here's McCain
"I am very honoured today to have one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide, Pastor Rod Parsley....I am very grateful you are here."
And now, the great moral compass himself:
"I do not believe that our nation can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam....
The fact is that...America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed."
I chose to link to al Jazeera's report about McCain's appearance with Parsley
One of the biggest foreign policy challenges
is the fact that a very large number of Muslims believe that the United States is
engaged in a war against Islam. And why wouldn't they? Rod Parsley says so, and one of our presidential candidates is willing to get up
and call him a "moral compass."
Andrew Sullivan
gets it right:
And the truth is: the GOP is far, far more influenced by its religious fanatics than the Democrats by theirs'.
McCain's "Spiritual Guide" Wants America to Destroy Islam
John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask. And so, we've taken matters into our own hands, joining Mother Jones to present the truth about McCain's pastor.
Since the media won't question McCain about his deeply bigoted pastor, it's up to you to call attention to this issue. Make McCain's pastor problem a major story by forwarding this video to your family, friends, and colleagues.
Rural America - Bastions of Hate`
"I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife's an atheist," - Leonard Simpson, a West Virginia Democrat. Then this:
Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. "I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president," he said.
This guy is a muslim trying to take over religion, rights, gunns, and lastly our country.
Does anyone remember 911. He's cunning and a racists. He is connected with dirty money and bad connections in the rest of the world.
Obama's got his work cut out with these people when he gets the nomination. A summer of engaging and listening with rural non-college educated white folk would help - why not hold a series of town hall meetings in rural America? I don't think any region should be written off by any candidate, especially if the major objections seem racial or religious.
Straight Talk About Universal Healthcare
A better way to describe the program would be to call it "universal heath insurance." The idea is that by compelling everyone in the nation to participate in the insurance market, you'd cut down on what's known as the "free rider" syndrome. As the term suggests, this would be people getting a "free ride" from the healthcare system by deciding not to get their own health insurance because they've been assured that in the case of an emergency or personal health catastrophe, inexpensive care will be guaranteed to them by the government. The theory is that mandated participation would help to drive down insurance costs.
But any mandate requires an enforcement component. My fear is that a government branch with the kind of power to actually identify and penalize those seeking to avoid the insurance mandates of universal healthcare would be vast and all-powerful. The new healthcare arm of the government would likely have the same kind of power (and loathsome reputation) as the IRS.

OBAMA/SEBELIUS
Pete3:49PMMay 16th 2008
Democrats have delighted in watching President Bush veto bills Democrats intentionally loading up with billions in pork.
Democrats put the President on the spot. Democrats knew these bills would bust the budget and Democrats could use the huge deficit as ammo in Novemeber.
In a "two for" in addition to the deficit Democrats would score points with voters by throwing money around to buy votes with all that pork they put in those bills.
So instead of the President taking the rap for vetoing these bills Republicans having figured out a way to stand by and watch Democrats shot themselves in the foot, again. Nice job!

I VOTE HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT. I WILL SUPPORT HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE. HILLARY OR MCCAIN. NEVER OBAMA.
Obama is an elitist racist bigot who ridiculed the values of American working class families, their religion, their Christian faith, and refused to salute the flag.
We are at war with muslim terrorists who vowed to "destroy America from the inside" and we seem to be heading that way. Obama claims he is not muslim but his whole family in Kenya is muslim, and he is surrounded by radical muslims. Thats a FACT.
Obama said, in his book, if the "winds of change" come, he will stand with the muslims. Obama feels deep resentment for his mothers race. He is a junior rookie sanator on a racist bigot muslim platform.
Remember the 20 years of anti-American brainwashing of Rev. Jeremiah, he never once stood up and walked out or spoke up in defence of America. Obama pledged a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. Obama is simple UNELECTABLE.
I VOTE HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT. I believe in Hillary, she is the best candidate and she can get the job done. If the Kennedy boys-club manage to derail her, I CAN STILL WRITE HER NAME ON THE BALLOT.
SECOND ALTERNATIVE IS MCCAIN,
AN HONORABLE AMERICAN HERO.
NEVER OBAMA.

The republicans are attacking Obama because they know he is gaining ground rapidly and closing in on the nomination.
I have no respect for the way Bush is trying to camouflage his attack on a fellow American from foreign soil. He should be impeached for that kind of conduct.
As for NO agenda McSame he is too old and has no clear vision of his own. He is a party "puppet". His wife has been doing business with Sudan so all of a sudden she decides to sell off her over 2 million dollars in holdings, why? Naturally because their is some conflict that will come up during his run for the presidency. I want to see her tax records, because I believe there is evidence that McCain's flag pin has a price tag on it. He hasn't been wearing his flag pin lately.
While he is busy slandering a fellow American I believe he has some explaining to do to the American people. What a flip flop piece of work he is. Cindy skit: "John's running for president sell all our investments that show a profit from the Iraq war". Stock brokers reply: Cindy should we include the beer company and your house in that too :)
These are just my personal opinions and as an American I am entitled to have one and voice my opinion. Bottom line Vote for Obama 2008. He has a platform and he is going to work towards making changes to the way they do business in Washington. I say it's about time.

Bush is full of cynical political ploys. While I do not know Bush, I have always assumed that outside of the White House is is a fun guy. Probably the life of the party with a couple of shots of booze or out on the range riding his horse. He has a lovely wife and two fine daughters and that speaks well of him. My take is, he was not President material and does have that short man ego. I like his cocky walk. But---if he continues to go political in the presidental race ahead..McCain is doomed for sure. This last episode by Bush and McCain maybe what wipes any chances McCain had. McCain should have been smarter than to picup where Bush left off his slander.
