Since things are going "well" in Iraq, will the Congress focus on domestic issues?


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, despite their pledges to continue pushing to end the war in Iraq, face growing pressure from their rank-and-file Democrats to focus more attention on domestic, “pocketbook” issues in the upcoming election year.

Junior Democrats describe an “Iraq fatigue” setting in among some members after dozens of successful withdrawal votes failed to drive a wedge between Republicans and President Bush on the war strategy.

These guys are useless. Politicians should look at the long term, and voters should consider what's best for the country, but alas, when it comes down to an election, it's all about "What can you do for me NOW?"
