Pathetic

This is just annoying. I know all the stuff about how money has taken over politics, and how the Beltway is its own little universe, and blah blah blah blah.... but despite all that, I'm still surprised when folks are so dumb.

To be explicit: Caving and funding Iraq at this level with no oversight is criminally stupid, especially on the part of the Dems, who, in a pseudo-two-party system like ours, could pretty easily lock up everything to their left with some halfway decent showboating on Iraq. But no. sadly, they suck at politics and policy.

What's worse is that the only reason the Greens haven't had any success in the last several elections is.... the Greens themselves. Don't even get me started.
