Like many who post here and in other related locales, I am deeply disturbed by the cretinous cave we are watching by the Dem leadership.
However, I wonder what are the options at this time.
My analysis after the jump:
1) Resubmit the same bill.
Pro: Satisfy the base. Fulfill their mandate from Nov 6.
Con: Look like petulant 12 year olds. Get huge numbers of ads against them.
2) Fund 1-months worth of I/A.
Pro: Same as for 1)
Con: Look even more petulant and silly.
3) Cave
Pro: Issue behind us. Write ads about repukeliscum voting for permanent war.
Con: P-0 base. Give repukeliscum an opportunity to crow.
So, what are your views on the choices now?
They blew their options.
If they don’t force a funding showdown in September (one where they don’t cave but keep sending the same bill back to Bush despite the veto) they threaten their electoral chances next year.
Impeach Bushco.! (Or, they could send some more nasty letters)
