Just A Few Democrats Against The War

Eight Anti-War Democrats Vote Against War Funding

A total of 14 Democrats voted against the bill including eight who oppose any more funding of the war. The eight anti-war Democrats were, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Diane Watson and Barbara Lee, all of California, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, John Lewis of Georgia, Mike McNulty of New York and Mike Michaud of Maine. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi managed to secure passage of the spending bill because she received the support of many Democrats who had voted against previous supplemental spending measures. The Senate is taking up a similar spending bill this week.

And the rest support the war through continued funding, even though a significant majority of the American people want the U.S. out of Iraq. "Representative Democracy", R.I.P..

Why did we have an "election" last November? For appearances sake.
