A few things in life are certain, aside from the death & taxes cliché. Frustration is a certainty. Heartbreak is a certainty. Punk-ass Democrats are a certainty. Sorry for being redundant. Yet again, frightened Democrats demonstrate why Republicans call them weak and why apathetic non-voters continue to believe they have nobody to speak for them:
“Democrats angrily attacked the GOP move, then lined up with Republicans to vote against a troop withdrawal in hopes of draining the issue of its political significance. The vote was 403-3 against the measure.”
–Washington Post
The Democrats had a chance to make a stand and they blew it. They could have handed America what it wants and needs – an opposition party dedicated to bringing our troops home – and they blew it. They could have fought for the troops who are risking their lives in an occupation that’s not turning out as we’d hoped, but they chose to side with the Republicans and leave them in harm’s way in order to “(drain) the issue of its political significance.” What’s it going to take for Democrats to grow a spine and start fighting for the majority of Americans who want the troops home as soon as possible? Will Bush’s dismal approval rating have to sink as low as Cheney’s (19%. 19 f****** percent!)? Will polls have to show them 90% of Americans want our men and women home? What will it take before the Democrats realize it’s “safe” to be brave?
