Reply #56: Well, let's see here, the Dems are the ones in the majority, right?

They do have the power of the purse, right? They can hold up each and every single supplemental war funding bill in committee, right? This would force the troops to come home, right? No money, no war, right? No need to deal with voting or republican obstructionists, just simply defund the war and force the troops home, right?

Yeah, I'm blaming the Democrats, because they have the goddamn power to end this war ASAP, yet instead they're dicking around playing politics with peoples' lives, putting out the false meme that they need a super majority in Congress and somebody in the White House to end the war when that assertion is patently and Constitutionally FALSE! And now some of the Dem presidential candidates are hinting around that they'll continue to keep troops in Iraq, keep this illegal, immoral war going.

Don't get me wrong, I blame the 'Pugs and Bushboy for their part in this war, but when Pelosi and the Democratic leadership took defunding the war off the table before this Congress was even seated, the Dems just shouldered some of the responsibility for this war. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING WHILE DEMS PLAY POLITICS! That should be something for you to beat your head against a wall about.

Let me ask you, let's say that the unthinkable happens, that the Dems get their super majority in Congress. They get Hillary in the White House, and they keep our troops in Iraq. Then will you consider that the Dems deserve some blame? Or will you, like many other Dem apologist deny any responsibility on their part?

Sorry, but individual Dems deserve the blame they get for their vote on the IWR, simply because they helped enable Bushboy. Now the Dems collectively deserve blame because they are in a position of power and aren't doing a damn thing while innocents die. And frankly, if the Dems come into the WH and still don't end the war, well frankly, they just bought and own it then.
