Ooooh... I hope this is true. (read on before you start flaming)
I'd like to see the Democrats try and explain that to their constituents.... Perhaps we'll see another, "I voted for it, before I voted against it."
And the ensuing backlash in the midterm elections as Democrats lose their seats to Republicans.
The Democrats believe their own b.s. polls that say the mission for a free Iraq is unpopular. They believe that their constituents would agree with them that depriving the troops of their funding is a way of supporting the troops.
Of course, we know how this will end. Republicans stick to their guns, and the Democrats cave.
Don't throw me in that briar patch.
