3. This should be good.
I wonder if KKKarl Rove wrote her speech for her in return for all she's done for the Republicans this week.

"I Resign so the Democrats can have someone with a spine lead" would be a good start.

4. Nancy Pelosi "leads"? Not hardly...
The Dems in Congress backed down, bent over, dropped trou and gave the pres everything he wanted. The Dick/Lieberman/Cheney Dems do not deserve my support, nor will they get it. Hillary and Obama so bravely demonstrated their "leadership" capabilities by voting against the bill AFTER IT WAS CLEAR IT HAD THE VOTES TO PASS. Courage of conviction? Hell no - pure politics and utterly contemptable COWARDICE.

There is NOTHING Pelosi can say that will change any of this. She does not deserve the gavel.

6. what do Hillary and Obama gain by waiting until the end?
do they look like they "support the troops" just becuase the bill passed before they voted against it?

I'm sick of this talking point....

9. One could argue that Hillary was waiting for Obama to cast his vote-what she did on Feingold's bill.
