Bribing the Gutless to Support the Spineless

Folks, we’ve reached the point where the fickle Democrats in Congress have gone past the comedic into the reprehensible. They are now using your money to bribe other members of Congress into voting for a bill the sponsors themselves can’t even explain.

Except that it’s supposed to bring our troops home. At some point. Maybe.

Oh and it’s just stinking loaded with pork – millions and millions of your dollars dangled out in the hopes that your member of Congress will stuff himself with it and ignore that doing so will hang our soldiers out to dry.

The matter is here is very simple. The notion of hamstringing a Commander-in-Chief is either worth supporting all by itself, right out in the open where the world can see it, or it is not. What Nancy Pelosi and her merry band of lickspittles has been doing is trying to hide behind so much bureaucratic fluff and lukewarm catchphrases to avoid taking a decision that puts any part of their personal political power at stake.

It’s this simple. If the Democrats want to bring our soldiers home, they have one and only one option: cut the funding for the war. Period.

That’s not even a statement of politics. That’s a Constitutional matter. The President makes the military decisions – not the Speaker of the House nor the Senate Majority Leader. Their job – their only job in prosecuting a war – is to either grant the money or not. If the hypocritical Pelosi and Reed can’t get behind the Constitution, they need to come right out and tell us so. At least that way we can ignore their sanctimonious bleating when they carp on the President for some imagined Constitutional slight.

Now they’ve gone from overstepping their authority to flat-out bribery.

But hey, you guys voted for them. How’s that whole “Culture of Corruption” thing coming along, anyhow?
