About Pelosi bashing...DO THE MATH
Advertisements [?]
People do the math.

Fact is it does take 60 votes in the Senate to stop debate and bring a bill to a vote. Fact is the Senate breaks down as 49 Dems, 49 Repugs, and 2 Independents (one of whom is Lieberman...).

Ask yourselves, and be honest; how many times would Bushie had to use his vaulted veto if the Dems had 60 votes in the Senate?

Also ask yourselves, and be honest; how fast this illegal occupation would have lasted if the Dems had 67 votes in the Senate?

Finally we all know the political ramifications if the Dems were able to stop the funding? Wouldn't the Repugs and the corporate media have a field day with that one.

The truth is the only way out was if the country had elected 67 Democratic Senators in 2006. We didn't do that and are now living with the consequences.

Stop whining about the Dems and focus your wrath where it belongs on the Repugs!
