Reply #185: No sense in beating a dead horse. We can't override Bush's veto.

[Major Hogwash]

So, there's no sense in passing another bill that Bush had promised to veto anyway.

This way, they won't be able to talk about Democrats not willing to support our troops all summer long.

It just plays into the hands of the neocons to continue to argue with Bush.
He's not going to change his mind one little bit.
We are smarter than that!

Until the American people living in Republican controlled areas start putting pressure on their representatives to end the war in Iraq, nothing will change.

No one predicted that the Democrats would win control of the Senate last year.
Only a few political pundits even thought that the Democrats would take control of the House, let alone the Senate.

So, the war in Iraq will drag on for 2 more years until the Republicans either come to grips with ending the war in Iraq or are elected out of office so that an overwhelming, veto-proof Democratic Congress is a reality.
