Reply #7: The trouble with the "victory" [View All]

[Truth2Tell]

is that it will be short lived. The bill will be back in an even worse form and it will pass. And everyone voting on it knew that - but many pretended they had achieved a real victory. It's about everyone being able to go back to their home districts and claim that they voted to stop the war, or that they didn't vote to hurt the troops - whichever they need politically. It has nothing to do with actually stopping the war. It's just a big stage show for us gullible little constituents, cuz we're too unsophisticated to understand why the adults actually need to fund the war.
