INCUMBENT
TUMBLE LETS THE NUTS IN
August 9, 2006 -- THE Lieberman loss ends the bipartisan consensus on the war in Iraq.
You read that right. I said "bipartisan consensus." There has been one, though you probably missed it.
Yes, I know polls have said for two years now that Democratic voters are overwhelmingly opposed to the war. Yes, I know Democratic politicians - with the exception of Joe Lieberman - never miss an opportunity to go after President Bush for his decision to go into Iraq and for his handling of the war.
But the weird little secret of the past couple of years is that when push comes to shove, Democrats in Washington have assented to the continuation of the war on Bush's terms. They have voted to fund it.
House Democrats voted against an immediate withdrawal. Senate Democrats even voted against a set timetable for withdrawal.
That's over now. The Democratic Party officially became the antiwar party last night
