Democrats have vowed not to give Bush any more money this year. It sounds good in theory, but the year is over in one month.

Democrats are talking tough on the war while preparing yet one more capitulation. When the smoke clears you can bet the Democrats will reach a "compromise" on continued funding for a war with no real end.

Sadly, Arianna, "Hardball-Playing Democrats" Is An Oxymoron

I say, cut off funds to the Democrats. When they call or email asking for contributions, tell them, "Not a penny more for you spineless wimps until you stop the war." If everyone who shares my disgust actually did this, the war would be stopped by Christmas.
