Obey and Liberals Caught In Friendly Fire

Tweet

The conversation that took place between an honorable war mom and the Honorable Rep. David Obey in a hallway clearly exposes the frustration and misunderstanding going on between those who are against the Iraq war.

Washington Post Excerpt:
"We don't have the votes for it. We do have the votes if you guys quit screwing it up. We do have the votes to end the legal authority for the war, that's the same as de-funding it." --David Obey

It was disappointing to hear Obey refer to pro-troop anti-war activists as “idiot liberals.” But in his defense, I could only say that those opposing the war or opposing the funding of it should be questioning and confronting Republicans within the hallways of Congress instead of Democrats. They are the ones that need to be convinced they are taking the country in the wrong direction for supporting this ill-begotten war. They are the ones that need to be videotaped and scrutinized for their support of policies that have defunded our schools, VA hospitals and other domestic needs at the expense of Bush’s bloody oil war. They are the ones “screwing it up.”
