Back after the 2004 election, there was a lot of talk about "framing the debate," inspired by the thinking of George Lakoff.

Too bad none of that thinking has trickled up to certain leadership elements within the Democratic Party:

"We're not going to leave our troops in harm's way ... without the resources they need," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland. He said he hopes to have a replacement measure ready for a vote within two weeks. Democratic leaders had said previously they hope to send Bush legislation he can sign before Memorial Day

I'm just a moron with a blog, but it seems to me that what just happened is that Democrats voted to fund the troops, and Bush vetoed the funding.

Does that make sense? Democrats voted to fund the troops, and Bush vetoed the funding.

Even if Democrats are not going to draw the line in the sand over this (despite the support of 60% of the American people), couldn't Steny Hoyer at least find it in him to tell the truth?

Democrats voted to fund the troops. Bush vetoed the funding.

Who's leaving the troops in harm's way without the resources they need?

Repeat after me: George Bush.
