After weeks of attempting to negotiate with President Bush, a concession by Democrats to strip out billions of dollars in domestic spending opposed by president was rebuffed.  When will the Democrats learn the president and his advisors have utterly no interest in dealing fairly with them.  The Dems should just stick to their guns, put forth the bill they want, and let the president veto money for the troops.  The American people are behind the Democrats on this measure, so they need to stop cowering and fight.
