Perhaps. However, can his party allow that?

Filibustering prescription drugs for the elderly, because he wants to make sure that the people he deems too rich for tax cuts, will get free drugs?

Also bearing in mind their Senatorial election landscape in 2004.

It's what Daschle wanted to do originally but backed off when Fat Ted decided to support it. Hillary! voted against the Senate version. I'm sure they can complain about it being a sop to the "big insurance companies" or a scheme to "make Medicare wither on the vine." Or they'll blame Tom Delay or something.

Good point about the inconsistency with tax cuts.

I read that in disbelief....I can't fathom why these morons are opposing giving less govt. help to the rich when they scream about tax cuts for the rich all the time.

Somebody help me out here.
