The most outspoken critics of the $124 billion wartime spending bill in the House are facing withering support in their fight to defeat it.
California Democratic Reps. Maxine Waters and Lynn Woolsey said that many of their liberal colleagues were caving under pressure from Democratic leaders who, according to at least one congressman, have threatened to block requests for new funds for his district.
They also cited MoveOn.org's endorsement of the measure Monday as a blow to their efforts.
"This is the process: people who feel strongly about this issue hold out as long as they can," said Waters. "A lot of pressure comes to bear and they can't hold up under the pressure."
The $124 billion emergency spending bill, backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), includes not only more funds this year for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan but also new military readiness standards, benchmarks for the Iraqi government and an Aug. 31, 2008 deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
A floor vote is planned for Thursday.
Democratic leaders have also added billions in funds not related to wartime spending in a bid for more support.
That additional money was attractive for at least one lawmaker, Rep. Peter DeFazio ☼ (D-Ore.), an Out of Iraq Caucus member. His spokeswoman, Danielle Langone, cited $400 million for a one-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act.
"That's pretty vital for our district, so we'll be voting for the bill," Langone said.

we've been posting at ToniD's bloggie to avoid the verification BS.
now that that's gone we should get the flow going again.
having the new comments at the bottom and the comment box at the top is a bit of a hassle but no real bloggie.
"Allowing Mexican trucking is part of a larger plot to bypass American Regulations and unionized ports."
also part of their plan to join canada and mexico to the US in a uber nafta way.

Watching Gore last night, reminds me of the old P.J. O'Rourke quote about him....
"'Malthus,', says Vice President Al Gore in Earth in the Balance, 'was right in predicting that the population would grow geometrically.'
Al, as the father of four children, should know."
