It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don’t want and get it. – Eugene Debs

Can’t defund the war? Then defund the Democrats
(Cross-posted on DailyKos, where it has really stirred up the Kossacks.)
Enough is enough.
I spent 20 years of my life working to elect Democratic candidates. Because that’s how I made my living, and because I believed it would make a difference, I’ve also given regularly to Democratic candidates over the years.
But the list of Dems who might get a check from me just got a lot shorter, after their latest cave-in on Iraq.
If they won’t defund the war, maybe it’s time to defund the Democrats.
There are 70 billion reasons to quit giving — one for every dollar they just appropriated for the Iraq war and occupation.
Writing it that way makes it seem like too little. This is better: $70,000.000,000.00. That’s how I’d use it in a campaign commercial against one of them in a Democratic primary.
No matter how you write it, it is a lot of money.
Did I mention that it’s with no strings attached? No requirements to even begin to plan for troop withdrawal. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zilch.
Seventy billion.

Five Democrats didn’t vote: Iraq War fudning and Feingold/Reid w/poll
Gosh, oh gee. You would think that Iraq funding would be worth voting on. You would think that Feingold/Reid would be voting on. You would think that standing up to Dick and W would be worth voting on.
If you’re a Senator and running for President, you’d think that they would think these issues would be worth voting on.
You’d be wrong!

Ah, the days of a whistle stop tour! One can just imagine Lincoln as he moved from Springfield to Washington DC in 1861:

Okay, Now I Get It
Like so many others, I have been bothered, bewitched and bewildered by the behavior of the Democratic ‘leadership’ over the past few years. At first the excuse that they were being steamrolled by the majority Republicans provided them some cover, but it gradually became evident that something more sinister was at play.

Impeachment: “Constitutional Scholar” Obama Opposed! w/poll
Apparently Senator Obama taught Constitutional law at one time. Good for him. Bad, apparently, for those who wish to hold the current administration accountable for their crimes. Bad, apparently, for those who are worried that Dick and W aren’t restrained by the law or the Constitution (since they haven’t been during their entire administration).
