The Travesty that is the Democrat leadership

The image in the following article is a joke. Or would be, if things weren't so serious.
Democrats Support the Troops?

Support? By playing games with their funding? Trying to intrude on the commander-in-chief's constitutional powers?

According to Harry Reid, "the American people voted for change in Iraq." While true, I wonder if he ever thought that the course change they wanted was one of victory rather than treading water, waiting for the Iraqis to come around? Reid is imposing his own anti-war biases on us by insisting that the only course change must be "redeployment" out of Iraq.

What he really means is that the troops need to leave at the height of primary season next year, so that the Democrats will have an issue to bash the Republicans with. The lives of our troops, a loss in Iraq and America's future safety are something Reid and other Democrats are perfectly willing to subordinate to their own political power.

They ought to be ashamed. Sadly, Democrats have no shame.
