Dems Cave in on Iraq Funding

Why is it that the Dems have the majority now and all of the sudden it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass anything?? They did not filibuster anything (not even getting rid of Habeas Corpus) when they were the minority, now the Republicans are making sure nothing gets passed unless it is a giant compromise.

Dems, GOP see win in Iraq funding bill

I say they should have just kept sending him bills that had a withdrawl date and let him explain why the troops ran out of money... If nothing else, we would at least get Halliburton to withdraw - money is all they care about...
