Reply #117: Code pink has been protesting Republican events for years now

including the RNC. I do not agree that NP is doing a phenomenal job. She did not stand up to Bush on the spending bill, and she is rapidly dialing down on her anti-war commitment that she was so vocal about before the elections. What exactly are the things that I can't get today? I understand that all soldiers won't be transported out of Iraq today. But I see NO good reason why the democrats aren't standing up to Bush and voting to cut off the funding. They could do it, they just choose not to, because they are still caught up in that rhetoric of "patriotism" and The War on Terror that the neocons have been abusing to wield power since 2001. At this point, four years into the war, anyone enabling the war, and not using their position to try and put a stop to it NOW is as complicit and guilty as the people who started it in the first place.
