Am I the only one that is not surprised why voters are confused about Democrats in Congress when it comes to Iraq?
This sort of thing really, really infuriates me and clearly is a sign to voters that Dems STILL don't know what they stand for and want to cover all points before putting what they will fight for on the line.
It also makes clear to me why the American voter is leery about Dems when it comes to national security issues.
The Democrats keep blowing opportunity after opportunity by doing stupid things like this.
All the Congressional Dems have to do is hold a frigging press conference and TELL the American voter what their beliefs and stances are - how hard is it to get up and say that as a national party it will pledge to the American people to never take the country to war on false,misleading and lied about intelligence and that it's goal is to withdraw forces as safely as possible as soon as possible. Hell, they can even point out that you never hear the Bushies accusing others in the "coalition of the willing" of cutting and running.
