Democrats could have ended the war by cutting funding. They could have demanded troop withdrawals by cutting funding. That is what the American people voted them into power to do. Instead, they sat on their hands and whined. They decided that some innocent lives were worth losing as long as they could keep their seats and gain more power.

I stand by my statement. Democrats in power are pussies. Drafting and voting on legislation is their jobs. I'm sorry you feel that their time is better spent figuring out whether Roger Clemens used steroids. Bring up the legislation and put the heat on the President or the Republicans in Congress.

But it's better than Republicans who actually do make changes, albeit shitty ones that hurt the country. Democrats win because they're the lesser of two evils.
