I would love to support the Democrats, but the fact remains that they could bring the troops home right now were they to cut funding. They haven't, and won't because they are no different from Republicans. If you lean Left, don't vote for Democrats. They are the lesser of the two evils, with an emphasis on 'lesser.' If you want to see REAL change, vote your heart.

                        WASHINGTON - Nearly a year after anti-war voters put them in power, congressional Democrats remain unable to pass legislation ordering troops home from Iraq. Frustrated by Republican roadblocks, Democrats now plan to sit on <SPAN id="lw_1195295565_0" class="yshortcuts">President Bush</SPAN>'s $196 billion request for war spending until next year — pushing the <SPAN id="lw_1195295565_1" class="yshortcuts">Pentagon</SPAN> toward an accounting nightmare and deepening their conflict with the White House on the war.
