Our Spineless Politicians At Work
So, the $87.5B is going to Iraq:
One day after Americans in Iraq endured their worst casualties since March, the Senate approved the bill by voice vote, sidestepping the roll call that usually accompanies major legislation in an anticlimactic moment for which only a handful of senators appeared.
Yes, a voice vote. That way, we don’t know who voted for or against it. Spineless wheenies.

This is exactly why I have issues with the whole bunch! I’m sick of hearing each day about why we are in Iraq and how it is worth the ultimate sacrifice (of somebody else’s kid)to give them democracy, when right here we resort to what amounts to gutless secret voting. It should be impossible to vote in this way. Shameful.
As I said in my recent post, people will go to the woodshed next November. Let the leather fly!
