We've Got Your "The Democrat Party has no ideas" Right Here

Go on with your bad self, Reidmeister:

Harry Reid has called a Saturday Senate vote to condemn the escalation:

"Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) this afternoon announced that the Senate would take a rare Saturday vote on whether to consider the House resolution, which is expected to pass that chamber Friday, with some Republican support.

If the Saturday vote succeeds, Reid said he may cancel the upcoming week-long recess, scrambling campaign plans for at least six presidential candidates."
D'oh! Meanwhile, Murtha busts a move: "Murtha hopes to choke off the 4-year-old war in Iraq by placing four conditions on combat funds through Sept. 30: The Pentagon would have to certify that troops being sent to Iraq are 'fully combat ready' with training and equipment; troops must have at least one year at home between combat deployments; combat assignments could not be extended beyond one year; a 'stop-loss' program forcing soldiers to extend their enlistment periods would be prohibited."
