Pure Politics

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said Friday that his party would unite to block Senate debate next week on a bipartisan resolution opposing President Bush’s troop buildup in Iraq unless the Democrats allowed votes on at least two Republican alternatives.

Mr. McConnell said even Senator John W. Warner, the Virginia Republican who is the chief author of the bipartisan proposal, and other Republicans backing his plan had agreed to prevent the resolution from reaching the floor Monday if Democrats did not agree to that demand.

(Senator Harry) Reid responded that the Republican leadership was essentially filibustering a debate of Iraq policy to avoid a judgment on Mr. Bush.
“This obstruction is an abdication of their responsibility to the American people on the most important issue facing our nation today,” Mr. Reid said in a statement.

Now Harry, it is you who has abdicated his responsibility by wasting everyone's time with a stupid non-binding - aka: meaningless - resolution that will do nothing but serve Democrats politically, tarnish the Comander-in-Chief in a time of war, demoralize our troops, and encourage the terrorists that are killing them.

Simmer down Harry. Relax. Spend some of that $1.1 million in bribe money you made on the land deal.
