I have posted at least ten based on common sense and things that are logical. You have failed to show me one evidence on why you think that the White House can be blind-sighted over something like this. But I guess you don't have to explain yourselves if you are hanging from the trees.
What does that mean?
Common sense and logic defined by you. So what?
It's already been coherently pointed out to you that Senators like McCain, et al couldn't care less about the Bush and the WH.
They are positioning themselves for 2008 and want Bush to be a lame duck. They have backed off Soc Sec reform, spend wildly, take the Dems position judges, etc.
I clearly pointed out it's this WH that hasn't vetoed anything and even signed the ridiculous McCain-Feingold bill.
You instead just keep beating the drum of "they had to know, they had to know" like you think McCain, Snowe, et al actually send them e-mails telling the WH what they are going to do.
Sorry, the WH has been blindsided because these same RINO's haven't been forthcoming and the WH even said over the weekend (through spokesmen) that they were confident they'd get an up or down vote.
So IF you are correct, then it shows Bush sold us out too.
