Slog - Comments on Blue Cave http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/blue_cave Once again, the Democrats don't have the votes (not even close) to make good on troop withdrawal. Although, check the vote—both Sens. Cantwell and Murray voted Yea on the Sen. Russ Feingold amendment. From the Washington Post: The troop-withdrawal amendment, offered by Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), failed on a 24 to 71 vote. None of the four Democrats running for president -- Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) -- returned from the campaign trail for the vote, which failed for the third time this year to clear a 60-vote...

That man is one of the few democrats with balls.

Even if their only true goal is staying in power, repeatedly pissing off the people who vote for them and giving Bush every single thing he wants is not a sound strategy; their political support has collapsed.

Are they so clueless that they don't know that the public largely (correctly) believes they're spineless, pathetic, despicable cowards?

I know she would be in the House. Ds and Rs are too much alike. We need to elect people that don't run their campaigns saying they support the troops every minute. They will vote with the fakey support side.

With every blunder, waffle and cave, my party has proven Ralph right at every turn since 2000 (and even more so since 2004).

Sorry about that, Greens!

Duh, that's why THEY keep saying it.

Dems need to say "you guys are weakening our security, wasting our army, killing our constitution, starting wars of aggression and you are traitors who help the terrorists."

Unless you attack them with everything they are guilty of and define them for the traitors they are, you are collaborating.

"I didn't like the Nazis but we had to go along with them to fund their troops."
