House Democrats Have a Chance to end the War, Rufuse to do so

 Democrats have long held the public stance that they will end the war if only we send a larger majority of Democrats to the house and senate, as well as a Democrat to the White House of course. Privately I believe they hold a totally different stance. It would be very easy for Democrats to end the war, they could begin the ending tomorrow if they wanted to, hell they could end it today if their really were so inclined. All that they have to do is vote to defund the war. It would be over and troops would almost immediately start to come home.

 Democrats know deep down inside the dangers of ending the war before it is over and they don’t have the balls to vote for defunding it. Democrats don’t want their names tied to the wrong side of a vote on national security if something happens after they defunded the war, so they refuse to vote for defunding the war.

 However, they had a chance to defund the war and bring it to an end without voting on it, and they refused to do so. All that the Democrat house leader had to do was not allow the latest Iraq war funding bill to come up for a vote. This would have effectively ended the war. This would have delivered to their constituency on the promise that they have been making to them for four years, ending the war. Here is what the Democrat majority leader in the house had to say about the possibility of ending the war in this manner:

“I don’t personally believe it’s a practical alternative not to put a bill on the floor and not to let the House of Representatives work its will on what it wants to do on this issue,”

 I thought we knew what their will was. Weren’t we told that Democrats were elected in 2006 to end the unpopular war? Shouldn’t their will be to end the war then? This would have been an easy, ball-less way to end the war and they are even too scared to make good on their biggest campaign promise of ’06.

 What a bunch of frauds.
