There is a cancer in the American body politic, which has been allowed to metastasize. It is nurtured by at least 53 members of the 'Progressive Caucus' in congress and has its roots, ideology, and objectives grounded in socialism. This is not the paranoid rambling of a right wing radical wacko. This is a FACT.

Only 53? Sheez, after the last few weeks, it looks like it's a majority of both houses, in their rush to give tax credits to people who don't pay taxes and to give a prescription drug giveaway to the wealthiest segment of the population.

"a prescription drug giveaway"

Rush was talking about this today. It seems there is a bunch of repubs in the House that are totally ticked off over this and they are fighting the President the whole way. I've been wondering if Bush knew they would. We have a great lead in the House and I doubt we would lose any ground in the next election ... but at least Bush can say he supported this reform - even if he doesn't get it. After the election, Bush will have a larger repub group and they can then rehash the bill and reform it to work better.
