Mark my words
By Creature
The voting is done and the Republicans in the House have officially sealed their fate for the November elections. Voting primarily along party lines, the House -- as the Senate did yesterday -- came out in favor of continuing the Bush administration's failed policy in Iraq. Thank you, dear GOP, for making the choice so clear. No plan, no strategy, just stay the course and continue to watch our troops die as they take fire from all sides in the middle of this civil war. Mark my words, this political stunt will backfire.
And to the Democrats who voted in favor of this meaningless resolution, boo to you. You should have stood together on principle that this debate, this resolution, this vote, was all a political sham.

Good post Daniel, but I think the public is tired of the status quo. With victories in Iraq few and far between I believe, by November, the public will be more than ready to throw the bums out. Stay the course just won't cut it and Hillary will find herself on the wrong side of the fence.
