Let's see if I have this straight.
Four years ago Democrats in Congress "trusted" that George W. Bush would use their vote authorizing him to use force against Iraq as a negotiating tool, and that he would only actually use force as an absolute last resort.
Instead he took the money and ran with it. Suckers!
Now, four years and a hundred thousand plus deaths later, Democrats in Congress say they are ready to trust the serial liar in the White House again.
Rather than do what they promised us they would do if we voted for them last year - to get our troops out of the Iraq meat grinder - they produced an Iraq-war funding bill that contains NO time line for withdrawal - a monumental, possibly even a historic, betrayal.

My, my, my. Today over two-thirds of Americans oppose the war in Iraq and what our troops out of that black hole of a country. But even with that enormous -- even historic -- level of public support and backing, Democrats are still too timid - afraid -- to shoulder the responsibilities and burdens of leadership.
Last November we put them back in charge of Congress. Now Democrats want us to put them back in charge of the White House next year as well.
Which now leaves me, and I am certain millions of fellow Americans, with just one nagging question:
Why bother?
