Democrats now own the Iraq war

Tough call actually, because there are a lot of good things in that bill and I do share his concerns that it'd be the troops suffering, not Bush. On the other hand we need to stop this sometime and I'd hate to simply resign to not being able to stop the war as long as Bush has his veto.

This is all going perfectly according to the political handbook with the title "pushing away others from the center". The clamoring of the Democrats against the war has stuck, they don't get accused of "putting the troops in harm way" and the war continues at the detriment of the presidential aspirations of the Republicans. In other words, the Democrats have given Bush enough rope to hang himself as well as his party. Cynical, but effective.

Democrats: just good enough to be less evil than the Republicans, but no more. jfern has finally realized that. Too bad BRTD doesn't either.

Do you think jfern is not going to vote Democratic in 2008? He realizes that getting a Democratic president is the only way to end the war. So do I. Sorry I'm not going to waste my vote voting for your worthless hero Saint Ralph.

Actually, I read this covers only until September 30.
