Democrats Fold On Iraq War Funding

Democrats today dropped demands for timetables for withdrawal from Iraq and handed President Bush a rare victory in the skirmish over a $100-billion emergency war funding bill.

I'm not happy to say this, but I predicted this would be the outcome of the Democratic electoral victory last November.

As this and the proposed immigration bill demonstrate, politicians of both parties keep playing us for suckers and succeeding. Every time something like this happens, I tell myself that I'll stop voting. Maybe now is the time.
