Senate & Bills

I almost never talk politics here but this has really got my goat. So if you don't want to hear it, then stop reading now...

Senate passed a new war spending bill to further fund the Iraq War without troop withdrawal but say they'll still challenge the president's politics in the future. It seems like less than six months ago, they passed troop withdrawal which the president then vetoed only to send MORE troops this year. I understand the House, Senate & President are supposed to work together & balance each other out but this is ridiculous. The Senate basically stood up to the president & when he pushed back, their actions seem to say "we don't agree with you still but we'll give you what we want & forget what the majority of American people want".

Now very importantly I want to make it clear that I have relatives & know others who are in the military & I completely support our troops for what they are doing. I can't imagine the horror they face everyday. What I don't support though is our goverment continuing to send more & more of our people to fight a war that shows no progress or end.

Frankly I think any president our country votes next cannot possibly be worse or do more damage to our country than our current president has already managed & continues to do. I can't wait for this nightmare to end & have a president who takes into account & makes his decisions on not only what best for our country but what the people want.

We need a president who will stand up for the people of this country & admit when he's wrong instead continuing to make things worse. I guess he figures "why not add more fuel to the fire, right?" We need a president who makes his or her decisions based on what the people want... NOT what his personal agenda or opinions are!!!
