As antiwar Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) has said, the battle to end the war is "us versus them" - not in terms of Republican versus Democrat, but in terms of the uprising versus the "Washington inside crowd that sets the parameters of this debate."

      The Hill is reporting that Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) told an audience at a town meeting that the Democratic Party was basically lying when they said they'd stop the war if they were elected as the majority during the 2006 midterms. One would think that such an explosive admission would be all over the news? Amazingly, this news is rather hushed.

      In an August, 2007 video posted on You-Tube on May 22nd, Kanjorski is seen saying that Democrats "stretched the facts" when they said they would stop the war after winning the majority.

        Well, this congress (the one voted in 2006) has the most fillabusters in history - 72 of them - all by the republicans. And many of the issues fillabustered are war related.

        so it's pretty clear which party is trying to make some decisions and which one is stalling.

        While I do believe the Democrats will stop the war, even if they fail it could hardly top the failures of the Republicans during the first 6 years of Bush's presidency when both the congress and the presidency was Republican. Remember the contract with America which by now is nearly 15 years old?

        http://www.house.gov/house/Contract/CONTRACT.html How many were accomplished? How many such as THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT were achieved under Clinton only to have been totally destroyed by Bush?
