"Bush campaigned on this prescription drug coverage. It is ridiculous to act like he has sold anyone out. If you voted for him, you either knew this and accepted it as one thing you didn't agree with, or you didn't know, in which case you didn't pay attention."

Nice try. Talk about ridiculous...if the particulars of the current bill were publicized during the campaign, Al Gore would be President now.

[Miss Marple]

No particulars of any bill that is part of a campaign promise are detailed during a campaign.

When you heard "prescription drug coverage for seniors" during the campaign, what did you think it meant? Simple Miss Marple knew it would involve spending money. Did you think the feds were going to forcibly take drugs from pharmaceutical companies? Did you think the feds werre going to pass a law making the elderly's children pay? What in the world did you think it meant?
