Democrats still can't get it together
As is being widely reported everywhere, the Senate voted not to cut off funding to the Iraq War.
From the NY Times:
Only 28 Democrats and Bernie Sanders voted for the amendment. Votes like this make me wonder how people still support such an unpredictable and un-unified party. If cutting off funding to Bush and the Republicans isn't their plan, what is?
You don't know. Nobody does...
On a side note, presidential hopefuls Obama and Clinton both voted FOR the amendment. I guess they’re the only Democrats who have to pretend to have principles (people are watching).
From the NY Times:
Democrats who are highly critical of President Bush’s Iraq war strategy suffered a stinging defeat today when the Senate overwhelmingly rejected a measure to cut off money for the military campaign by March 31, 2008.
The measure, in the form of an amendment to an unrelated water-projects bill, was effectively rejected, 67 to 29, with 19 Democrats voting against it in a procedural vote. Sixty “yes” votes were required for the measure to advance, so it fell short by 31 votes.
