They really don’t understand the concept of showmanship, do they?
WASHINGTON — Congressional Democrats have scrapped plans for another vote on expansion of the Children’s Health Insurance Program, thus sparing Republicans from a politically difficult vote just weeks before elections this fall.
Before the summer recess, Democrats had vowed repeatedly to force another vote on the popular program. But Democrats say they have shifted course, after concluding that President Bush would not sign their legislation and that they could not override his likely veto.




what possibly could be gained by bringing a popular bill to the desk of an unpopular president so that he can veto it just days before his party tries to win another term in the white house?
what noz said.
the democrats are like freakin’ Spinal Tap, but without the intelligence.
What??? They don’t want to embarrass Republican??? [bangs head on desk]
Apparently the Dems don’t want to make policy decisions political … I love the SpinalTap reference…. shame on the dems for having no spine
Oh goodie. Another reason to drink tonight. Good lord these people are getting on my last nerve.
Why do you force us to read these things?
