Take the Homeland Security bill, for example. The worker flexibility issue should be an easy slam-dunk for the administration, but instead they seem to be allowing Daschle to run around calling it a "power grab" without a sufficiently outraged response. The simple answer, which should be shouted from the rooftops until Daschle is embarrassed into shutting up, is that the Democrats are putting the security of their union buddies' jobs before the security of the nation. It's short, pithy and true. Nevertheless, it appears that the Democrats may force Bush to veto the whole damned bill over the issue, or sign it without the increased flexibility a loss in either case.
Now who might that be?
