Democrats Last Chance

Yesterday's vote on the bill that would set a limit on the time between deployments may have been the last chance for the Democrats to influence the Iraq War strategy. The vote was 56-44 and the bill was defeated because of the lack of a 60 vote majority. All dems voted for the bill and 43 repubs voted against it along with 1 independent and guess who that was.

This may well have been the last opportunity that the Dems will have before the election. And then they will only be able to pray that they can gain a little more party people in the Congress.

The big story is the defeat of the bill. Why does not someone tell the rest of the story, the troops are the ones that will suffer and there is the point that should be attacked by the Dems. These asses miss opportunity after opportunity to gain public support by not highlighting the lack of concern of the Repubs for the troops. Instead they whine and find excuses for their lack of success. CRAP! Admit that the Repubs beat you at the game and find new ways to attack their positions. The Dems will never get anything accomplished as long as they sit around licking their wounds and whining about the other side.

It will be telling if these losers are serious about their positions, if they let this chance slip through their fingers, then they are in this for the game not what is best for the people.
