It sounds like you want the GOP to have to own that one forever although the Dems put it into the second attempt.

It appears to me that you want to keep Afghanistan as Bush's war although Obama took it as his just about the time of his inauguration. He took it over as his and yet you want it to be Bush's. I just can't see any liberal double standard crap there.

No, it got in there because November is about here.

as long as both sides are playing games trying to outsmart one another with your money, nothing of meaning will get done, and when it does, it will be watered down or bloated so all the crybabies on the right or left come along.

The pornography Amendment wasn't an issue, the Democrats supported it and included it in the 2nd version of the bill. It was the way the GOP tied that Amendment with the funding cuts. They were the ones playing for November with the way they tied that in.

You seem to know the details Smash255.

With Pay-Go..do you know what got cut to pay for the programs in this bill ?

I've been trying to follow this Pay-Go mandate and I don't see much "cutting" going on to balance out the new spending coming out of all these bills.
