Subject: RE: BS: Keeping Democrats honest
Actually, if the Dems were truely into ending the Iraq wra, they could... Here's how: Suspend the 60 votes need to end a filibuster and then pass a bill requiring that Bush un-occupy Iraq by _________...

This doesn't cut off funds... It sets a date when the last of the troops will be removed...

(But, Bobert, could the Dems really do this???)

Yes, they have the power to do it just not the will... Rememeber in the last Congress the Repubs threatening to suspend the 60 vote rule??? It almost happened but the Repubs thought it would make them look bad...

I don't think it would make the Dems look bad seein' as they would be carrying oput the wishes of such a high percentage of Americans...
