Democrats in the House and Senate are splintering over provisions to restrict war funding and re-visit the 2002 authorization. Bills may not get a debate outside of committee, much less a full vote. It only took a little under two months in power for the party of good to quit acting like it had a mandate and worry more about preserving its own status.
This is disgusting. Democrats were put in charge of the Congress because they FINALLY stood up to the President last year on Iraq. But now that they have the power, they still cower, like a party firmly in the minority. They are running scared, and the Republicans love it. While the Middle East burns and troops die and lose limbs, folks back home are afraid of their patriotism being questioned by Darth Vader and Puppet Boy.
There's nothing like winning the race and failing to get the prize. And the unwillingness to accept the mantle of power is disgraceful. It's times like this I think about joining the Green Party.
