Miserably, as predicted. It fell short by 32 votes. The measure? Sponsored by Harry Reid and Russ Feingold, it would’ve cut off funding for the war by next June.

WASHINGTON — The Senate blocked legislation Thursday that would have cut off money for combat in Iraq by June. It was a predictable defeat for Democrats struggling to pass less divisive anti-war measures.

The 28-70 vote was 32 short of the 60 needed to cut off a GOP filibuster. The legislation, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Russ Feingold, was indicative of the Democratic leadership’s new hardline strategy.

They’re trying harder than ever to surrender as quickly as possible. Despite this. And this. And this, this, this, this, and so much more that I could just keep going. Seriously. I could.
