I hate to break your bubble folks, but we need 218 votes in the House to stop the occupation.

[unhappycamper]

Correctomondo - 218 NO votes stop the occupation.

[Bobbieo]

1. Let's get some reality here!!! Have we got 218 'no' votes?

[NightWatcher]

2. baby steps....

we can get there, but we gotta take baby steps.
First, Gonzo
next Plamegate,
Then we can neuter the rest of the administration and take the keys from them on the war

[Greeby]

3. If we're talking about this funding bill

I hear the Repukes are gonna vote against because of all the stipulations in it.

[shance]

4. Forget Washington. Most of them are working for the profiteers/defense industry.

n/t

[B Calm]

5. They need to stop worrying about the next election and get to work!

[WilliamPitt]

6. + 68 in the Senate to beat any veto.

[Warren Stupidity]

7. You only need the 218 NO votes in the house.

The appropriations bill for the war has to pass both chambers. Either chamber can kill the bill simply by failing to pass it. The Senate, cloture, Dumbass's veto, none of that matters if the House has the simple courage to vote NO to this war.

[Jack Sprat]

8. Why does the House have to provide any

appropriations bill that funds the war? He turns it back to them. They turn it back to him with a colossal tax hike to pay for the 350 billion already spent on the war.

[Atman]

9. You're right! So let's roll over and ask for a belly rub!

It's so nice and comfy being a lap dog...and you're always guaranteed to be fed. Unless, of course, you pee on the oriental rug. Then they beat you...but you'll be back in that warm lap again in no time!
