DTOM, is it possible that because of the LSM hatred of "W" and the damage they could do to the Republican Party with their twisting of truth, they (the Republicans) dare not do any more than his proposal, which is an excellent baby step?
I'm not trying to start an argument, far from it, I would just like your opinion.
Let's face it, during the LBJ and Carter administrations the Democrats added many people who are not physically disabled to the system thereby creating even more on the welfare dole.
It seems that the Republicans have been trying to win the "Miss Popularity Contest" for some time. Even Newt Gingrich got caught up in this soon after the "Great Sweep" of 1994 when the Democrats started calling him "mean spirited".
The Republcians have sacrificed their principles (and thus our nation) going after this popularity contest thing for a long time now. It is not just domestic. It is global also. The more the world hates us, the more we give away billion$ and billion$ trrying to be "popular".
