Reply #2: I don't know if it would go the way you think it would

[bryant69]

One of the Democrats chief criticisms of how this war was bungled (besides why we invaded in the first place) is that President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld tried to do it on the cheap, and so didn't provide our troops with the equipment they needed.

Plus our troops are there. They shouldn't be, but they are. Should Kerry and other Democrats be agitating for President Bush to pull out? Yes. And many are, including some who will probably vote on this bill. But does it necessarily follow that we should be voting against funding the troops while they are there? I don't know. I can see both sides of the issue--not passing this funding bill would send a definite signal that we don't suppor this war. But it would also make life harder for American troops.

Anyway, I just think that if it were put to a vote, it might not go exactly the way you think it should. Although it probably would be worth while to try.

Of course that opens up another can of worms--is Kerry representing the Democratic movement, the Liberal Movement or the people of Mass.?
