Now it appears the Pelosi and Reid aren’t even going to try and fight for ending the Iraq War:
Democratic leaders in Congress are quietly preparing to give President Bush essentially everything he wants to keep the Iraq war going for at least another six months without forcing any change in course.
Swept into power on the votes of war-weary Americans last year, Congressional Democrats have so far failed in all their attempts to curtail Bush’s war efforts. As they consider the president’s latest request for $200 billion in supplementary war funding party leaders have pledged not to hand over another “blank check.”
But, as Roll Call reports, a “blank check” is exactly what appears headed for the Pentagon.
This lack of leadership by the Democrats is disgusting. I guess they are afraid the right might call them names. Pelosi and Reid are two that must be forced out of power. They have betrayed the American people and broken their campaign promises.
Oh and to the DNC – please stop asking me for money. I will not give you one red cent until we have a true Democratic Party. If you were the last hope for this country then we have failed.
