Dump the Dems, Unite Against the War

By JOSHUA FRANK

We should have known it was coming. Even though the Democratic Party rode the antiwar wave in to Congress last November they’ve done little since to end the bloody war in Iraq. Just last week House Democrats met to discuss how best to halt Bush’s request to send more troops into the region but couldn’t come to an agreement on whether or not to put any restrictions on the administration’s plea for an additional $93 billion to continue the occupation. The only way to stop the war, as Sen. Russ Feingold understands well, is to cease all funding for the ongoing tragedy.

When you have a good thing going, why rock the boat? Because it's the right thing to do? Who cares about that? Doing the right thing does not get you re-elected.
