The Congressional Retreat and Surrender Caucus surrendered to the Bush Administration today and retreated from their promise that funding for the troops include a date for withdrawl from Iraq. The surrender to Bush was a predictable outcome for Democrats, who despite the defeat, vowed to continue to plead for the Pelosi Retreat and Surrender Plan.

One Democratic activist is fed up with Democrats negotiating with a president who is contemptuous of the Constitution and has a 28% approval rating. He writes to Pelosi, "What have you given us? Non-binding resolutions, blank checks for Bush, and staying the course on no Impeachment, that's what you've given us, Madame Speaker."

Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) threatened to deny any further spending projects to Republican Mike Rogers who challenged him over an earmark -- a violation of House rules. Murtha threatened Rogers on the House floor Thursday for offering a motion last week to expose a $23 million earmark that Murtha had inserted into an intelligence bill.

Only 13 percent of Republicans agreed that Climate Change has been proved. As the evidence for global warming gets stronger, Republicans are actually getting more skeptical. In other words, the thinking process of most Republicans is worse than random. How is it that more evidence for global warming makes Republicans less convinced?
