Deborah Pryce: Bush's Iraq Cheerleader

Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) voted against overriding the President's veto of the Iraq appropriations bill. Pryce just wants to continue the war and support this President's failed policy in Iraq. Pryce doesn't seem to be dealing with the reality of the death and destruction of the Iraq War.
