What the Vote Meant

Investors Business Daily has a clear grasp on what last week's House vote on the supplemental appropriation bill, laying out a timetable for defeat in Iraq, really meant:

[O]n that day [Pelosi's] party reached its nadir, showing that not even national security stands in the way of Democrats' lust for power and desire to punish those they despise and seek to ruin, even if it means America loses a war.

True. And contrary to their promises to be fiscally responsible, they were willing to tie pork like surplus peanut storage and aid to spinach growers to a bill that's essentially to the continued functioning of the US military. Really appalling.
