The thing is the politics of the issue was behind the Republicans! If they had taken the time to speak out and tell people what the bill was about....Instead they let the Democrats and Media frame the Issue. The Democrats do this every year around Christmas when most of Congress wants to go home and be with their families to get their way. I expect Christmas 2012 to be MUCH worse. A lame duck Senate with a Lame duck President......Things are going to get BAD

Which is expected but EVEN CONSERVATIVES were hoodwinked by this or didn’t notice. That includes conservative news commentators, which I haven’t heard a single one mention this.
Make me wish Rush wasn’t on vacation.
