I think if they push this forward it will be political suicide for many of them.

In between his ...Save a Senator stomps...

President Obama is working on health care legislation intended to reconcile differences between House and Senate Democrats that could be attached to a budget bill and avoid a Republican filibuster, according to a published report.

The president's proposal, which is still being written, will be posted on the Internet by Monday morning, senior administration officials and Congressional aides told the New York Times.

By piggybacking the legislation onto a budget bill, Democrats would be able to advance the bill with a simple majority of just 51 votes, averting a Republican filibuster in the Senate.

If they thought Americans were screaming before!

Linda, do you recall last year when everyone "LOVED" the new Navy commercial and how I didn't? This will ring a bell. The Marketing Firm (guess who) came up with "A Global Force for Good" and I didn't like it because it sounded like they were trying to slowly get us to accept the global force -new world order. Do you remember ~20 months ago when I let everyone know about LOST - the law of the sea treaty where NATO is trying to have a global Navy? I know you remember that. I did not see Glen Beck, so I don't know what he said, but I wonder if its about that Global Force. I know its mincing words, but its how we carefully choose our words that matters.

Dear Friend,
Indiana Senator Evan Bayh announced this week he was retiring from Congress. The two-term Democrat had this to say about his entry into the private sector: “[I]f I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.”
I could not agree more.
Today is the one-year anniversary of the $787 billion so-called “stimulus” package, which was intended to spur job growth and economic development. After nearly $1 trillion of government spending, most of us have not seen improvement in our day-to-day lives. What we have seen is government waste at its worst and an unmanageable national debt.
When the Administration rolled out the package last January, the price tag was a staggering $787 billion. Now the Congressional Budget Office says it will cost taxpayers $862 billion – nearly $100 billion over what we were all told. Even worse, the government has spent your money on projects that have made us all cringe like a new skateboard park in Rhode Island, new furniture for government agencies, bike racks in Washington, DC, and ginseng farming in West Virginia.
And after all that spending, unemployment rates are still sky high with the economy shedding 20,000 jobs in January alone. In fact, Texas had 1.6 percent fewer jobs in December 2009 than we did in February 2009. This has only led to more Congressional calls for another stimulus package. Only this time they will call it a “jobs bill.”
Stimulus-style spending has not created jobs, but it has certainly grown our national debt over the last year. I have voted against increasing our debt limit twice in the last few months. If not brought under control, the debt alone could push the economy back into recession. Enough is enough. Let’s make this next year a time when we cut spending, taxes, and resuscitate our economy through common sense and reform and not through deficits, debt, and political spin.
Sincerely,
Kay Granger

me too, it was 10% White House, 80 something % Fox.
About the understanding the surge.org - I found the briefing room and the timeline the most interesting as the briefing room had biographies on all the colonel's.
It may or may not take you to understandingwar.org - which is the institute for the study of war. That will take several days to study. It has both afghan. and iraq projects and a wonderful map that changes to show you the different cities on the HOME page.
