It gets better. Read this editorial from IBD. It can be summed up by the passage below:
"How sad that Congress' new majority didn't have the guts to take a straight-up vote on withdrawing troops without linking it to all sorts of pork-barrel spending.
This shows Democrats don't have the courage of their convictions — unless bribed. As far as party ideals go, using our troops as a bargaining chip for pork really descends to the basement. "

Remember, Democrats support the troops. Yep, they'll support the troops alright, on one condition: just make sure their pet social programs and feeding troughs are taken care of.
Nauseating.
