Democrats deny that they'll cut funding

What??? How can they deny it, I've posted on it here. How can they deny what they've said and has been reported?

At a news conference, McConnell accused Democrats of secretly favoring a plan to cut off funding for the troops _ an allegation that Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. denied.

McConnell conceded that Republicans as well as Democrats are troubled by Bush's new policy, but said, "Congress is completely incapable of dictating the tactics of the war."

Reid has said he will schedule a vote on a nonbinding bill expressing disapproval of Bush's new policy, but McConnell's filibuster threat indicated that he would not be rushed into the vote. Under the Senate's rules, 60 votes are required to cut off debate on an issue, and even the threat of a filibuster can force concessions by the majority.

They're not doing it secretly, they are talking to reporters about it.
