Democrats Vow to Play the Victim-Card Again
As a follow up to House Passes 50 Billion Dollar Iraq Withdrawal Bill and Democrats Slam Iraqi Government Again, I found this story on Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats who lead Congress likened President George W. Bush on Thursday to a bully on Iraq war policy and vowed to spend no more on combat without a deadline for bringing U.S. troops home.
“He damn sure is not entitled to having this money given to him just with a blank check,” Sen. Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate leader, told reporters. “Americans need someone fighting for them taking on this bully we have in the White House.”
Reid’s tough tone came toward the end of a year in which Democrats, despite slim majorities in both houses, have failed repeatedly to garner the votes to change Bush’s open-ended military commitment to the Iraq war.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said in response to Reid: “The president does not engage in personal attacks. He’s interested in getting things done on behalf of the American people, and he’s looking for a willing partner in Congress.”

Typical liberal move, if they can’t get their way or things get touch, just play the victim.
