A New Party

This week should signal the end for the Democratic party. They were elected to bring accountability to Washington, to end the war and maybe to slightly reduce corruption. We're still corrupt but no one really expected that to change. They are flapping their arms a bit about Gonzalez but the best we can hope for there is that he'll leave and be replaced by someone equally incompetent, woohoo. Then there is the war, this endless fucking war, this war with no goals, no light at the end of the tunnel, hell there isn't even a tunnel with at tunnel at least you know that if you keep going it has to end eventually this is like a giant field at night on a starless night, just plain black.

So what have our fearless leaders done, well they tried to pass a bill to fund the war that included non-binding timetables..... and failed. What the pathetic fuck? First off they failed and instead passed a "clean" bill, that is clean if you ignore the blood of american soldiers and countless iraqi civilians, its clean if you forget about the billions being made from companies like halliburton that from the outside seem like the text book definition of War Profiteering. But no thats not what clean means in Washington, no in Washington clean means no timetables, no dates, no plan what so ever because anything but unlimited money with no questions asked is dirty. Next we have the sad fact that the timetables that were rejected were NON-binding, they were meaningless worthless they were nothing. So they fail to pass a bill because it had dates with no value, wow, you guys should probably re-think your career choice. Oh then there is the fact that we are talking about funding a war that they were hired to stop, but to be fair I can understand not being willing to cut funding from the troops. So what does this mean to me? It means that the democratic party might well just disband, I know that they are the oldest political party in the world, but maybe thats a sign that they should go the way of the wigs. If your political pull is so week you as the majority can't pass a funding bill the opposition needs because you wanted to include dates with no values that 60-70% of the country wants, you should probably just curl up in a corner and die already.
