#2 3DC, where were you last November when the 'voters' changed the Congress because of "W"'s stubbornness to yield to the American People's will on this matter. The other shoe will drop in November 2008 when the Executive Branch will be given to the democrats! Six months from now, we'll see the 'bloodletting' leading up to that when the 'Coat Tail' republicans in the Congress will take a 'lickin' to pacify "W"'s veto stubbornness. The handwriting is on the wall!!

#4 My congress critter won.
Too many dead crook county voters negate my county's votes for the senate.
But, our senate critters were not up for re-election. (Its a blue state already.)

To top it off the Republican party in Illinois has had too many crooks including a gov now in jail, too much nepotism and too much cronyism.
The Republican party in Illinois needs gutting and replacement.

#8 Senate Democrats are stuck on stupid and treason. Where's Cromwell when we need him to march in and take over the congress and arrest all these scoundrels.

I know, our form of government allows stupidy to reign supreme. But I got to tell you, Reid and Pelosi and these other clowns makes my blood boil. Can't Bush just have them drawn and quartered in addition to vetoing stupidity.

#9 From #2 above
3DC, where were you last November when the 'voters' changed the Congress because of "W"'s stubbornness to yield to the American People's will on this matter.
smn, I find your conclusions without merit. In fact, the single group who benefitted most from the 2006 elections were the 'close the borders' group. Of course, you could be right about 2008, but if you would like to bet some hard cash, I'm your Huckleberry.

#10 Whether a Democrat or Republican is in the presidency in 2008, the war will go on. Whether or not the funding is pulled, the war will still go on. The Democrats have "minunderestimated" the threat and the foe. Should they win the election they will own the ugly baby and have to deal with it. They can wish it will go away but it won't. To the Muslims, we are the enemy and we will continue to be the enemy. We are considered the infidel and they will not be satisfied just because the Democrats might happen to win.

#11 Can't remember who said it, but it's the truth:

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

#12 As Trotsky so famously said, "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."

#13 "Should they win the election they will own the ugly baby and have to deal with it. They can wish it will go away but it won't."

Very true. But the Dems have made it clear that they prefer the so-called "Law Enforcement Approach" to fighting terrorism, as it was during the Clinton administration; and that's what we're likely to see instead of anything we'd recognize as a "war" if one of them wins in '08.

Not only that, but remember the Democrats are very, very good at sweeping unwanted news (other than sex scandals) under the rug with the help of their media buddies; once a Dem is in the White House (God forbid) we're unlikely to hear much in the news about "war".

More than anything else the Democrats want to take America back to 9/10, and "help" America by making new "safety nets" that their favored parasites can use as hammocks in exchange for votes.

#14 DaveD, what you say about the Dems is absolutely true. They WANT to go back to 9/10. But the reality of the situation will not permit it. The enemy knows that they are weak. They will be unable to stop themselves from attacking this perceived weakness. And so the cycle will begin again, hopefully with at least some lessons learned, even by the dems. The attack will be their baby. The news will not be able to ignore it. They may not want the war, but it will come to them nevertheless.

#15 "They WANT to go back to 9/10. But the reality of the situation will not permit it."

But it won't stop them from doing a damn good job of pretending. Remember the 1993 WTC bombing, and how after a few months it receded into the background of the news and became "just another criminal investigation"; that's how I'd expect any future Democratic administration to handle further terrorist attacks on the homeland, for anything short of one of our cities getting nuked.

"And so the cycle will begin again, hopefully with at least some lessons learned, even by the dems."

You've got more faith in them than I do, I suspect; I'm no longer willing to risk my childrens' lives on the Democrats being able to learn ANY lessons with regard to handling terrorism. Not even a little bit.
