Absolutely Disgraceful
Tigerhawk notes something that a lot of people have missed. The Democrats, in a naked attempt to buy enough votes to get their "force surrender in Iraq" measure passed have stuffed $20 billion in pork barrel spending projects into the bill.
I, for one, find it both fascinating and unbelievably dispiriting that at least some Democratic Congressmen regard their vote to withdraw from Iraq as just another opportunity for legislative horse-trading, and that the Democratic Congressional leadership sees nothing wrong with pandering to that attitude.
Democrats seeking votes for their Iraq-withdrawal plan have stuffed the bill it's in with billions of dollars for farms, flu preparedness, New Orleans levees, home heating and other causes.
…….Democrats are, in effect, buying and selling the lives and limbs of American soldiers and countless Iraqis….
This is about the lowest I have ever seen politicians go in either party. Unable to muster the spine to actually go for a straight up or down vote, this is the route the Democrats have chosen.
