Democrats in Congress Slouch Into Pro War Again
It’s 2002 all over again. The Democrats are supporting George W. Bush’s plans to fight in Iraq.
Oh, but it’s worse this time. This time, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Iraq War will be a disaster. After all, the Iraq War has already been a disaster for four long years, and the Bush White House has no new ideas to put things right in Iraq.
The worst thing is that we fell for the Democrats’ line of bull in 2006. We were suckers. We believed that if we elected Democrats to a majority control over both houses of Congress, that they would act decisively to end the war in Iraq.
We were wrong. We were wronged. We’ve been wronged by George W. Bush, and now we’re being wronged by the Democrats in Congress.
The Democrats in Congress are giving up. They’re surrendering to the most unpopular President of the United States in living memory! They’re letting the pro-war Republicans have their way. The Democrats in Congress have agreed to introduce legislation that would give George W. Bush all the funding for the war in Iraq, including the surge, and the surge after the surge, with no strings attached!.
Listen up, America: Politics is no longer about Democrat versus Republican. Politics is about pro-war versus antiwar. Which politicians in Congress have the courage to stand up to George W. Bush and say that no, he can’t keep on throwing America’s reputation down the toilet. No, he can’t keep on spending money on a bankrupt war, building up record breaking budget deficits. No, he can’t keep throwing human lives at a cause that never was just in the first place.
If your representative and senators on Capitol Hill vote to authorize this no strings attached budget for war, they don’t deserve to be in Congress. Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Vote them out in 2008.
We’re watching, Congress.
