What part of this do the Dems not understand?
"(CBS) As President Bush and Congress hammer out an Iraq war funding bill, a CBS News/New York Times poll shows the number of Americans who say the war is going badly has reached a new high, rising 10 percent this month to 76 percent.

Nearly half of all Americans (47 percent) say the war is going very badly, while just 20 percent say the recent U.S. troop increase is making a positive difference"

1. The part that requires them to grow a frickin' spine...
...they spent too many years being abused by the corporate media that framed EVERYTHING positively for the rethuglicans, so that when they actually did get the reins of power they are too afraid to use it...

3. That they are supposed to be representatives of the people, not the Pentagon.

4. How much you wanna bet there's some assholes on K Street with big smiles on their faces?
Military Industrial Complex lobbyist mother f***ers.

They command rediculous amounts of money and power.

Although ultimately, despite the fact that they could if needed to, make nothing useful for society.
