1. I am with you.

I want no more blood spilled on my behalf, as if it would have ever come to that if we had someone with any sense in office.

2. More empty sloganeering NOW.

In fact, the emptier the better! No recognition of the facts, no problem. No dealing with political realities, no problem.

Just pull those stock old anti-war chestnuts off the shelf without offering any solutions, and stamp your foot and demand that the dems wave their magic wands, and click the heels of their ruby slippers, and end the war NOW.

Grow up.

[MuseRider]

3. Grow up?

That is real grown up of you to say. So we disagree? Fine, then say that.

The fact that so many progressives are celebrating the passage of this bill is mind boggling. Playing the game, getting something rather than nothing now substitutes for substance. Although that is not fair because in reality the Democratic leadership does not want the war over and in fact are helping to pave the way forward to war on Iran. Bush is right for once when he called this political theater. They have set the bill up to make maximum political advantage as the 2008 elections approach without sacrificing the war.

Democrats worked hard to pass a fuckin prowar bill! They twisted arms of Progressives and threw tons of pork at Blue Dogs just to pass a bill to kill more Iraqis.

To stop funding the killing all Pelosi has to do is not bring the bill up for a vote. Heck the Senate has killed a minimum wage increase by just not bringing the bill up for a vote.

Pelosi, you don't have to get the votes to vote down the bill. Take a lesson from Reid, if you don't want a bill to pass just don't bring it up for a vote.
