$124 billion in pork was added to buy those votes, President Bush to speak at 1:45…. This cannot pass the senate, if it does Bush needs to veto it as soon as the bill is delivered.

The Democrat controlled House voted for surrender and is determined to turn this into another evacuation of Saigon and allow millions to be murdered in it’s wake. They have innocent blood on their hands and proves they can be bought with our money.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.

House passes spending bill with Iraq deadline - CNN.com
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The House of Representatives on Friday passed a spending bill that includes a firm deadline — August 31, 2008 — for combat troops to leave Iraq.

President Bush, who has already said he would veto the bill, was scheduled to make a statement at 1:45 p.m. ET.

The measure also is unlikely to pass the Senate.

Before the 218-212 vote, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told CNN that Democrats had the numbers to pass the bill.

To get the votes, the leadership had to win over anti-war Democrats who felt that the measure didn’t go far enough.

But some of the war’s most liberal critics said they weren’t buying it.
