Democrats want to extend Unemployment Benefits..

... as well as education benefits to returning vets. Republicans already said they would defeat any legislation that provides for unemployment relief or aid to returning vets. Republicans WILL however approve $190 Billion to flush down the rat hole in Iraq, and they will continue to place "YELLOW RIBBONS" on the back of their Suv's to honor the kids coming home with no arms and no legs, no jobs,and no health care.

But wait.. it gets even better. <snip> "At the same time, Pelosi worked to overcome rebellion by some of her own members. Moderate to conservative Democrats are upset that the war funding bill is carrying new benefit programs — especially the boost in GI education benefits — without paying for them with offsetting cuts to other programs. The revolt among these "Blue Dog" Democrats kept House leaders from officially releasing the measure Wednesday in advance of Thursday's planned vote.

What is wrong with these "Blue Dog" Democrats? Why don't the Democrats just refuse to give Bush another penny for the war? Sorry, rhetorical dumb question. :crazy:

not be Democrats at all? I think that somewhere along the route we must have been infiltrated by Repugs. in Dem. clothing.
