Are You Tired?

Is Chris Bowers right? Are we all exhausted by the battle over the supplemental bill. Are we worn out? Or are we just discouraged…disgusted…distraught?

How can the biggest issue facing the country finally come up for a vote and the activists have so little to say?

From my perspective, the problem is that there is no correct way to vote. I don’t feel like explaining my thoughts on the ethics or merits again. I, too, am tired. One thing is clear to me…the President will veto the House bill if it passes (and probably the Senate bill, too). Given that, voting for the funding isn’t going to fund a thing. This vote is over whether to express the sense of the Congress that we should pull out. And I base my thinking on that.

What do you base your thinking on?
