Disagree with the tone of this. Dems may not be accomplishing as much as we want or as much as they should, I would argue that. But I hope we aren't really hanging the continuation of the war on them exclusively. Yes, Congress can be more aggressive, but these aren't the people responsible. It's all the folks who won't vote for aggressive legislation, not the leaders who can't talk them into it.
We can hang the fact that we are in the war on the Democrats, who knew better but voted for it anyway, and we can hang the fact that we won't be getting out anytime soon on the Democrats.
Unless, of course, they find the courage to do the right thing.
And if we keep supporting candidates just because they are democrats and refuse to have the courage to demand that they stand up to Bush with binding resolutions and refused to vote for more funding of the war.......then we can hang the fact that we are in this war and we aren't getting out any time soon...on us.
And we can blame ourselves for the deaths and mutilation of our soldiers and about 600,000 Iraqis on ourselves.
Put the blame where it belongs...on us.
There are no heroes in politics and self serving politicians aren't going to rescue the world from this madness. Only the voters can do that.
well, my only point is that we shouldn't just pin this on the party leadership when the rest of the caucus in DC mostly is just as bad.
