Why Bother Voting Democratic?

Sometimes you have to wonder whether people who say it doesn't matter whether the Republicans or the Democrats are in charge might actually be right. That's how I felt when I read that the Democrats' Iraq bill "basically reads like a new authorization" of the war.

So says Russ Feingold. He also says the Senate leadership absolutely will not cut off funding for the war. Carl Levin said they will instead try to repeal the October 2002 authorization of the use of force and rewrite the terms to fit today's situation. But after all the anti-war rhetoric of the past year, that Democrats could reach the point where any bill could be put forward that sounds even remotely like a re-authorization bill is profoundly discouraging.
