BUYING VOTES AGAINST THE WAR, in Congress. But don’t question their patriotism — they’re just for sale on this subject like they are on everything else!

UPDATE: Reader Kevin Hawn emails: “Coalition of the bribed! I heard that somewhere, once.” Heh.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Mobilizing in opposition. Count me in, as this involves two things I don’t like — playing defeatist politics with the war, and pork-barrel spending.

MORE: Indeed: “Um… I thought the Democrats had a ‘mandate’ on Iraq? Why do they need to buy votes?”
