Strike them all dead

This is the kind of pandering idiocy that really makes me sick to my stomach - literally. And, the damn Dems are even more susceptible to it than the Thuglicans:

The Senate is playing who can be nicest to military figures today. Sen. Barbara Boxer's resolution condemning political attacks on all current and former military figures (Grant? MacArthur?) got 51 mostly Democratic votes, less than the 60 needed to overcome the GOP's procedural roadblock. That was just a sideshow to the real sideshow, a vote on the GOP resolution condemning the MoveOn Petraeus ad, which is coming shortly.

These idiots are willing to suspend the Constitution for even the most insignificant short-term political gain. And, nobody is going to believe that this is a good way to "support the troops" anyway. Sometimes I wish God would strike all politicians dead.
