Well, the GOP in the Senate did at least stop the leftist Dems from trying to fool the public,. trick the GOP and aid their allies in the media when a vote of 56-38 came about on a procedural vote today. The vote was to lead up to undercutting the President's troop surge. 7 Pubs voted with the Dems and 10 Pubs did not vote at all. The Senate on important votes, (what vote nowadays doesn't seem important) had to have 60 votes. The Dems were furious. The media was furious. The Gop wants an up and down vote on funding for the troops ala the Greeg resolution, a Pub support funding bill. The Dems do not want to vote on funding. That , they know , will show the public that they do not want to fund even the military already in the field. The fact is, they want to undermine the President, as Rep. Murtha ranted, so that no military efforts could go forward anywhere, especially in Iraq and now Iran, because the Dems are pacifist socialist liberals.That is reason enough. They actually had to vote in the House Friday to expand tax credits to businesses on certain levels because they still want to raise the minimum wage. That , of course, is bad for the very business they just helped with the tax credits. Oh well, Dems have never been much good at economic or tax theory. And we know they are not good on national defense or defending the military. We have two more years of a Dem Congress before the 2008 Presidential Election. And frankly, there will be many more years of Dem rule unless the Pubs start acting like conserv Pubs that their BASE demands. Who knows? Perhaps the voting public will finally realize how leftist the Dems are, elect Rudy G and a Republican Congress again. But, I am not staying up at nights on this one. Both Parties have left much to be desired as they serve or do a disservice to our voters.
