Do as I Whine not as I Do

In a most heroic effort two weeks ago, the liber... I mean, democrats were able to overcome the large population of Senators who object to pulling the troops and actually convince them otherwise.
Just kidding, but doesn't it just sound silly?

In real life, the Senate voted 93-6 in favor of keeping the troops in Iraq. Wait, what? 93-6? Wouldn't that mean that of 55 Republicans and 44 Democrats only SIX people voted to withdraw the troops? (There are actually 100 people in the Senate, where that other guy ran off to, no-one is sure) Gosh, with all that yelling the Libs do about how evil the war is and how we're not really even sure why were there, they sure were able to resolve those issues in their minds well enough to keep the troops in it. Now, I know that you, oh cynic, would just love to come back with some brilliant comment like "They were bullied into that vote", but let's take a look at John Kerry, the brave. Mr. Flip-Flop. The very guy whose only position is that of what everyone else wants him to be was actually able to stand up to the "peer pressure" and vote against 93 other people. Bravo, John, bravo.
So, what is my point? Maybe, and I know this is going to be difficult to accept, we're actually that much closer to the success in Iraq foreseen by our fearless leader. Shock and Awe! My logic for coming to this conclusion? Even the democrats are voting on the good side! Due to recent good news in Iraq (e.g. over 500 WMD's found and the 2nd most wanted man in the world's death) the Dems, who are not as lacking in intelligence as the others, have managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Here's a list of the people, besides John Kerry, who voted for pulling the troops: Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Barbara Boxer of California, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Tom Harkin of Iowa, and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Well, would you look at who's name is missing? It would be Lady Hillary of New York. She's been at Bush's throat since the war started, questioning Bush's policy and wondering why "...we have not captured or killed the tallest man in Afghanistan." Well, Hil, maybe you should ask the same question of your Hubby who has let the tallest man in the Afghanistan slip between his fingers several times.
I find it interesting that when polled and/or interviewed, the American people and politicians seem to voice such hatred for the war in Iraq and the tragedy it is and the embarrassment it brings on our country. Yet, when it comes down to a vote, something that actually causes change, Bush gets re-elected and the troops are aloud to still fight the good fight.

Could it be just rhetoric? Is it possible that the polls are just wrong and politicians say random, idiotic things just to win favor with the politicians on their side but when it comes down to voter approval they change their minds? No, that can't be it, because that would mean that America is basically conservative and (most) Dems step down off of their liberal soap boxes during election years to win that conservative vote. That's just outlandish right?

America needs to get some more stick-to-itiveness about her. Just because politicians are screaming foul when it comes to the war in Iraq doesn't mean that's what's actually happening. Just watch how they vote, that's when their true colors come shining through.
