House Democrats Are Playing The Same Old Tune

From the Hill:

Staring down the threat of a White House veto and some internal opposition, House Democrats Wednesday night passed legislation linking $50 billion in funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a withdrawal date.

The spending bill, which requires Bush to begin bringing troops home from Iraq within 30 days and to complete that withdrawal by Dec. 15, 2008, passed 218-203. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who had said he was undecided earlier in the day, voted present.

Bush vetoes.

Not enough votes to override.

Try again.

I kind of like this myself. They are waisting a lot of time when they could be screwing something else up. A do nothing Congress is not such a bad thing.
