In a word - FILIBUSTER

Thu May 24, 2007 at 10:34:01 AM PDT

What is so freakin' wrong with our so called Democratic leaders?

Congress controls the purse (see: Constitution, United States) not our Decider in Chief.  And I really don't care what our Decider likes or doesn't like about that fact.

Fact is, the Democrats don't have to spend the money.   Period.  End.  Stop.  Time to call King Georgie's bluff. Let him throw a temper tantrum in public.

There should be absolutely no reason why we can't find 41 Senators to back a filibuster and gum this ridiculous war to death.  

Filibustering is not just for Republicans.
