Why even bother saying no more funds if they don't mean it? This is so tiresome.

House Democratic leaders today indicated that they will vote next week on an omnibus spending package for fiscal 2008 that would likely provide money for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars without controversial troop withdrawal provisions.

"There probably will be some level of addressing Afghanistan, some of the domestic concerns about child care," Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this morning. She added that negotiators were also considering supplemental funding to prevent civilian furloughs at the Defense Department.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced this afternoon the House would vote Tuesday night on an omnibus appropriations bill.

“I would hope to pass such a bill on Tuesday,” Hoyer said this afternoon in a floor colloquy with House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.). “There has been discussion with the administration so that we can make sure the government doesn’t shut down.”

2. I know; they tell us what they think we want to hear and then carry on.

I'd at least like an explanation, from them, why they're going back on their word.

5. You want more evidence the Democratic Party is WORTHLESS, AND DECADENT?

I just threw in the trash another envelope from DNCC(DLC) asking for more money..

I was tempted to just write NO IMPEACHMENT NO MONEY and send it back.

But even that was too much effort to give them anyway.
