CJ, > How? Every bill the Democrats proposed got blocked. Every time they tried to attach a rider, that bill got voted down and only the bills with the riders stripped out got passed.

Democrats stood for nothing but obstructionism. They never proposed any spending cuts, except those related to Iraq and the military. This even as they accused Rumsfeld of running a war on the cheap and denying combat armor to our troops.

Meanwhile, the abuses at Abu Ghraib and those allegedly going on in Gitmo were being taken to the very extreme by those who stood to benefit the most politically. How much do you think that hurt the morale of our troops? How much impact do you think that had on our military commanders who are now pressured to do everything in a "politically correct" manner, despite the fact that war can never be fought in such a way? How often have the Dems pushed standards that they know can never be met by any administration, Republican or Democrat?

You think about that for a minute. Democrats are not blameless and should not pretend to be.
