SHOULD THE GOP HELP THE DEMOCRATS GOVERN?
SShiel wrote: "...The Democrats gave us the answer time and again when they tried to defund the war."
Reynolds replied: "You are a liar.
Mr. Bush got EVERY penny he asked for, EVERY man he asked for, and EVERY weapon he asked for, and he got them from the Democrats. You contemptible fraud."No, SShiel is not a liar and Reynolds is confused, although typically immature and abrasive.
The dems did try to defund the war. The key word that SShiel used is "tried". And SShiel is correct. They tried although the bill was never voted on.
From the Hartford Courant dated Posted May 16, 2007 10:58 AM...
"The Senate this morning crushed, by a 67 to 29 vote, a bid by Democrats to pull most U. S. troops out of Iraq by March 2008.
Techically, the amendment authored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Russell Feingold, D-Wisc., and Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., never got to a vote.
The amendment would have barred money from being spent to continue the war after March 31, 2008.
