Like I said earlier today, nothing to see here, move right along. From AP:
House Democrats defiantly pushed ahead Wednesday with a $50 billion war spending bill that calls for troops to leave Iraq, despite concerns raised by some members of the party and a veto threat issued by the White House....And let's be clear. If bush vetoes the bill, he'll then call the Democrats un-American, talk about how we're putting the troops in danger, and the Dems will cave like they always do. Then the whole story won't be about how the Republicans are to blame for continuing the war, it will be about how weak and spineless and divided the Democrats are. So, seriously, you've pulled that football away one too many times, Lucy, for me to get excited about any of this or any of you any more.
Democratic leaders initially said Wednesday they expected the bill to pass. But by mid-afternoon, the prospects were less clear. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., convened a meeting of the bill's supporters and asked them to help her round up votes.
