Yup. If clinton had proposed this, FR would be in an uproar. But since it "our guys"...silence.

This thread got 24 replies.

This one got 16 replies.

And The one you posted when President Bush announced that he would sign the bill only got six.

Frankly, it's an embarassment.

Add "was" after "it".

a *bump* for this thread.

We need to be VERY attentive to this issue. Most of us have parents or other loved ones who are seniors (and we all will be seniors eventually, G*d willing).

My wife is a health care financial consultant and has been raging about this subject all year. Sadly, if GWB signs this, we won't see her at the polls next year.

I understand the politicking... GWB being able to, a) take the issue of rx plan for seniors off the table for the next election; or, b) being able to blame the rat-controlled Senate for blocking it.

I'm willing to concede the possiblity that the plan is to get the bill signed, then clean up the mess later. But, this bill has the stench of special interest and big gubmit all over it. I'm becoming very disappointed in the President I've supported tenaciously.

That is because of all the Bushbots on this site. Anything he supports is sacrosanct and his words are akin to holy writ.

That is very astute. But if you are smart enough to notice it, you are also smart enough to know it will fall on deaf ears in this forum...
