Continuing to fund the occupation of Iraq, is supporting the occupation.

[Dhalgren]

It makes no difference how you spin it, or the excuses that you give for supplying money for the slaughter - that is what you are doing, if you continue to fund the occupation. It is disingenuous (if not outright lying) to say that you are against the occupation while, at the same time, supporting the funding of the occupation. The spin that it is to "protect the troops" is ludicrous on its face. It is a lie. Every Democrat who has voted to fund the occupation has done so not for the troops, but for his/her own political benefit - any of these politicians who tell you differently is simply lying, because the said politician would have to be a simpleton to think that continued funding is actually "protecting" the soldiers. That is a gross, Orwellian lie that should put to shame those telling it as well as those buying it...

1. I agree. K&R. This is why I am a supporter of Dennis Kucinich.

He refused to vote to fund the war, said that we had enough money budgeted to bring our troops back home... :-(

2. That is why I, too, am a Kucinich supporter.

He is one of the few who has stood up for sanity, humanity, and principle from the beginning. The lack of support he has received from "his" Party shows that the Democratic Party is not part of the solution, it is part of the other thing...
