There never was any serious attempt by most Democrats in the Senate to end the Iraq war. That was just talking points fed to you by your party. Same with the "Public Option," it was a pipe dream for Progressives that didn't make it because the votes in the Democrat party weren't there.

Actually, it's really hard to stop a war once it's been started. All Bush had to do was say, "I'm commander in cheif, I'm escalating the war," and the Dems were kind of well and screwed.
The Democratic House could have refused to fund it in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 but they didn't. You'll also note that the current President didn't even end the war in Iraq, he followed Bush's timetable.

Um, no, they couldn't have. Unless they wanted to be totally unethical and let troops die for want of bullets.

The talking points during the 2006 election was that supporting the troops meant bringing them home.
Now you're saying that was bullshit? HAHAHAHA
The real winner at the US mid-terms: Hillary Clinton
Revived Republican radicalism will be to the Democrats' advantage in 2016.

Naw, they had some funny idea George W. Stupid would take losing both houses of congress to heart and move to put an end to the war we clearly weren't winning.
Instead, he threw away a thousand more lives in order to save face.
After the republicans got thrashed in the last election they set up a commission to evaluate why they lost and how to avoid losing in the future. The prime finding of the commission was that the demographics of America were changing (no surprise there) and that if the republicans wanted to remain relevant they needed to change also. The recommendation was that the republican party needs to actively work toward bringing Hispanics into the party.
They have a perfect chance to do that now but I fully expect that the republican party will once again shoot themselves in the foot. What the republicans need to do is to come out with a broad immigration plan that offers a way for Hispanics to become American citizens. But THAT is exactly what President Obama is preparing to do. This places the republicans in a bind. Should they strongly support a sweeping immigration plan (similar to what Obama is offering) OR should they dig in their heels and refuse to accept any plan Obama offers just as they have done throughout the last five years.
I am betting that the republicans will dig in their heels and refuse to offer a plan similar to Obama's. In other words, they will once again play the obstruction card and in the process slap the people who could help them win elections in the face. And then, after losing the Hispanic vote by a wide margin in 2014, they will once again scratch their heads and ask "Why did we lose? I don't understand."
Or that he didn't direct military action based on polls.
That method failed when Clinton did it.

Really? Clinton defeated the Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo without the loss of a single American life.
Bush handed Iraq over to Al Qaeda and the IRanians.
Maybe he should have listened to polls.
You sure?Obama declares Iraq war over with all US troops home at year s end TheHillOkay, except control of the Senate doesn't get you that much.
Remember when control of the Senate was going to end the Iraq War?
It didn't.
Plus with house leader Reid sitting on some 350+ bills, things got done exactly they way he wanted.
My son was there that day.Or that he didn't direct military action based on polls.

Too funny.

Slick Willie had him there WITH NO AMMO.
Think maybe he was trying to chuck the old bag?
Are you faking insanity? Was the loss that devastating for you?Plus with house leader Reid sitting on some 350+ bills, things got done exactly they way he wanted.
Well, that's true. Harry Reid won't be saving Boenher from his own caucus. he's going to have to be a grownup and tell them ObamaCare isn't getting repealled.
