'Idiot Liberals' In Complete Denial

A simply amazing exchange here between Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.) and a pair of anti-war activists (via Hot Air):

The peaceniks think they are operating on a very simple formula - everyone in the U.S. including Barney the dog hates the war in Iraq and wants it to end, and the Democrats won the election last November, so, voilà, the war will now end! The anti-war left have seriously misread sentiments about the war and have misread their own mandate. The peace activists in this video are clearly living in denial, either not hearing or not believing Obey as he repeatedly tells them that they don't have the votes to cut off the war.

Obey later apologized, saying “I’m sorry that the frustration happened to erupt in that hall,” he said. “I wish it hadn’t. If these groups would inform people before they hit the Hill…we might have a better chance to have the votes to end this thing.”

How often we have heard the talking heads lecturing us that the Republicans are 'cracking up'. This, folks, is the real thing, and it is happening to the Democrats.

Update: Tigerhawk is appalled at the horsetrading Democrats are going through to ensure defeat in Iraq -

the Democrats are spending billions of dollars -- $20 billion and counting -- for pork-barrel projects that could not pass otherwise in order to secure the votes necessary to force the United States to surrender in Iraq. Principle being an apparently insufficient basis for a vote on the future of a war, Democrats are, in effect, buying and selling the lives and limbs of American soldiers and countless Iraqis, the future of Iraq, the security of the Persian Gulf, and, possibly, the success of the long struggle against radical Islam. That is, frankly, disgusting even by Congressional standards.

Are you convinced yet that the single-subject rule is a good idea?
