Walden bends over and takes it up the backside for W

Constitutents of the 2nd Congressional District can rest easy--Greg Walden is still grabbing his ankles for Bush:

March 23, 2007 - WASHINGTON, D.C. -
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) today issued the following statement regarding his “no” vote on the House version of the Iraq War emergency supplemental funding bill, which tied county payments funding to a firm withdrawal date of U.S. troops regardless of the assessments of commanders on the ground in Iraq:

“Until the majority Democrats in the House and the Senate work out language in the war supplemental that the President will sign, this measure will not become law and our timber-dependent counties and school districts will not receive the emergency assistance they need. Hopefully, by next week we will have a revised measure before the House that does not include an arbitrary withdrawal date of U.S. troops regardless of the assessments of commanders on the ground in Iraq, is not overloaded with non-emergency spending, and is one that I therefore can support.”

Congressman Walden represents Oregon’s Second Congressional District, which is comprised on 20 counties in eastern, central and southern Oregon.

Translation: Until the House and Senate Democrats bend over and take it up the ass for Bush the way that I do--there's no sense in even bothering. After all, Iraq is a long-term quagmire that's putting billions of US dollars into the hands of corporations that grease GOP skids. Why would I vote against THAT? Timber payments be damned! Who the hell cares if my constitutents have emergency services and schools if my President can't continue unabated in Iraq?
