Just a reminder, as Dennis Kucinich is fond of pointing out. No filibuster can prevent Congress from not funding. If the Dem leadership refuses to bring a funding bill to the floor, then there is no funding.
The weak-kneed Democratic Congress will back down every time. As Ms Price has pointed out, they will end up funding the war and tacking on a few billion just to show that they are more American than President George Walker Bush.

They are pathetic, worthless and predictable.

When the Republican Party shuts down Congress (by filibustering every piece of legislation until the House passes the Middle East Peace Act and accompanying emergency appropriations bill) the Democrats will, in the end, knuckle under to the real leader of the Free World and stop attempting to hinder the president from doing what needs to be done.

They know the president is right and will, with time, follow the only logical course, the only moral course, the only possible course open to this country. President George Walker Bush has the vision and the courage, all the rest of us have to do is follow.
