Thank God they're spineless

Whenever I get down on republicans, which occurs quite frequently here in Ohio, I always look to the democrats to see what real spineless politicians look like so I don't quite feel so bad.

If you are a democratic congressman who opposes the war, why aren't you doing more to stop it?

The Politico has this piece

Excerpt

The vast majority of Democrats in Congress are powerfully clear about what they think about the war in Iraq. It is the greatest strategic blunder of a generation.

It is a lost cause. Above all, it is immoral — with more men and women
dying each day for a war that many Democrats concluded years ago was a terrible mistake.

But clarity gives way to muddle when you pose a simple question to
Democrats: After eight months in power on Capitol Hill, why have you not done more to end the war?

Most answers come down to some version of “There’s nothing we can do.”

But if you truly believe that each and every life lost in this war is for some kind of Quixotic Bush Imperialism couldn't you muster up some kind of courage to get the boys home?

The article basically states that Pelosi and Reid could shut down all business in the house and senate until the administration agreed to a withdrawal.

The bottom line is principle & courage. So you have to question whether or not democratic reps have the courage to sacrifice a political carer to stand on a principle in which innocent Americans are being gunned down in Iraq.

And if you are Harry "the weasel" Reid the obvious answer is... "My political career is more important than a few guys dying."
