Democrats pull a dirty trick

After running their 2006 congressional campaigns, in part, on a platform of cleaning up politics in Washington and getting rid of legislative bills engorged with special interest spending tacked on, the Democrats are one-upping the former Republican majority with a low down dirty trick (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/19/AR2007031901615.html?nav=rss_politics). While I definitely support pulling out the troops, and while the only way this will happen is for Congress to assert their power over the funding for the War, I strongly disagree with the tactic they are employing here. It gives ammunition to all the Right-wingers to unload on the Democrats for not only going back on their campaign promises, but also using cheap ploys to get the votes they need for their spending bill. This will only hurt them in the long run. Even if the bill passes in both Houses, which seems unlikely given the lack of unity within the Party (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/20/AR2007032000840.html), Bush will most assuredly veto it. Democrats continue to spin their wheels and create more doubt about their ability to run the country. Their seemingly short sighted plans are causing me much frustration.
