#1 Once again the Democrats are learning the painful lesson that the American people are essentially centrist. Yes, they expressed dissatisfaction with President Bush's leadership on Iraq and other issues but they never endorsed the agenda of San Francisco socialists or anti-war moonbats either.

#2 The only governmental program that the Donk enjoy cutting is Defense [less, of course, the district pork they jam in there]. They've already figured that they can't pull that one off just right now. But you wait. As soon as our attention is diverted, they'll be there with a vengeance like they did after Vietnam.

#4 Gorb's getting damn good at that inline snarkology thing. Tu3031's still the All-Time Grandmaster of the art, but IMO he'd better watch his back. Fred, too.

#5 Agreed with DD, I couldn't tell from the first para, who it was. I thought it was Tu, this has happened several times now.

#6 You're too kind. I don't think I'll ever develop the depth understanding of many here, but I know stoopid/hypocritical/subversive when I see it. Usually. Thanks for the compliments, though!

#7 The measure, which the Senate approved 88-5

I never cease to be amazed at how the press acts like little lap dogs for the democrats! This article is written in such a way as to act like the Democrats just tried so hard, but the mean ol' Republicans stopped them. But the vote was 88-5! ONLY 5 voted against it and 7 cowards didn't have the guts to put their vote on the record.

So basically, the entire article is based on an entirely bogus principle that the democrats were for the AMT. Well, that's not how they voted, so this article is total BS crap. The correct headline should be, Democrats and Republicans rejectd AMT

It was a fun read with the inline though.
