McCain apes Bush on Iraq, as Dems stand passively by
His hard-liner stance should doom McCain with most voters, but unless Democrats put the war back on top of the national agenda, he might get away with it.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-02-12]

  • Dems passive by choice

    Please. Dems on the hill support the war in private and oppose it in public. Why? Money. AIPAC has them in the tank. (Pelosi herself addressed them and recognized Iran as a "threat.") Oil has deep pockets and Dems need just as much money as Repubs. Defense contractors. All the money they make allows them to lobby, lobby, lobby. (Plus some Dem districts have jobs related to the defense industry.) Then you have to look at the electorate. Does everyone vote? No. The only people that vote care. That leaves the deciding factor to who care more, pro or anti-war. Lets see, Christo-Zionists, rapturists, gung-hos, and knee jerkers vs. everyone else. What do you think?
