I personally support the war and this administration...I just hate to see support for the war becoming contingent upon 'pork' agreements... Ummm…well, some of my readers would agree with you.

Sure, we can get angry with the Democrats, but all that has happened since they have been elected has been limited by 1. George W. Bush's steadfast resistance to compromise and 2. The same resistance from Minority Republicans on Capitol Hill, who have prevented the Democrats from overriding any Bush veto. This is all really obvious and fairly easy for the common man to comprehend, yet it is overlooked so often because columnists and reporters are admiring the bark on the trees instead of looking through the forest. Want change without tit-for-tat? Want unified, coherent and efficient steps to withdrawl finally from Iraq and address other hugely important issues completely ignored by this Administration and Republicans over recent years? Vote in an overwhelming majority of Democrats in Congress and put a Democratic Administration in place once again. It seems that compromise is long dead on Capitol Hill. It died in the early-to-mid 1990's. Now we have to slalom down the slope or risk going off the course altogether... Democrat control... Republican control... Democrat control... Republican control... THAT is the new reality and anything less results in dysfunctionality. So what are we who don’t approve of the current Bush/Republican Administration to do?

There is no leadership, no commitment to what is good for America and Americans. No, this is nothing more than every person involved acting as if to say, "if they're going to get theirs then, dammit, I'm going to get mine!". Disappointing, I had hope we were better than this.
