Comments on: House Approves $97 Billion in War Funding http://donklephant.com/2009/05/14/house-approves-97-billion-in-war-funding/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

Is it that the funding is above board, on the books and not hidden? Is it that the veterans again are also being more heavily funded by the Democrats? Is it that there are still wars being funded? Is it that we should or should not be in Afganistan? If we know what you want us to be outraged perhaps we can oblige. I am outraged that America's new motto could be "Holding ourselves to the highest principles when it is convenient, the timing is right, when it wouldn't make us look bad and the Republicans don't object."

No righteous indignation? C'mon lefties, at least make it *look* good. What, no outrage? No righteous indignation? C’mon lefties, at least make it *look* good.
