That’s what the DOD should do — suspend payments to DOD contractors in districts voting against the funding. Our guys need supplies now; the newfangled hardware can wait a few months.
The only problem with this solution is the Bush administrations inability to communicate to the American public that it is the Congress's fault. They will somehow turn it around to blaming the Republicans, and he will let them get away with it, like the SCHIP debate.
I love President Bush as much (or more it sometimes seems) as anyone here, but that man really needs to get out in front of this kind of stuff. Go on national TV, during prime time, like Reagan used to do, and say "The Democratic led Congress is holding up our military and DOD funding forcing us to lay off non essential workers, and contractors" (even though I could prove that our contractor production makes money for the DOD through thorough, and complete work done in a timely manner).
