Thanks for that well reasoned reply. Something that still bothers me was George Allen losing who always was standing with Inhofe and Coburn. Note the ones that were defeated were ones opposing this bill.
Have had a bad feeling ever since the election that there was something really wrong and now it has come home to roost. Bush wasn’t kidding when Tony Snow went running out on election night to congratulate the Dems and talk about working with them on Immigration. I have been disgusted ever since.
NRSC was inept in the last election and NRCC wasn’t much better and forget the RNC — why? How could well oiled machines be so inept not to spot major problems in States and get last minute money and push into those states and save a few seats.
Note: Frist was leaving as Majority Leader and Hastert looked the other way on Jefferson and Foley until he finally resigned late into the election cycle — too late to help. Bush gets rid of Rumsfeld right after the election. Frist twisted arms to get Lott as #2 — this whole thing smells big time.
Now we find out this bill is full of loopholes? If Allen and Burns had not lost, this bill would not be going anywhere.
Note the date of this post.

Sad really. I feel for you young folks and those of you with kids. America is entering its own Dark Age.
