Someone please explain to me why the we don't have the votes to overide SCHIP is [View All]

[saracat]

the Dems and most of the GOP support it? Please? And why did the Senate get rolled on the Telecomm immunity? I don't get it. When we were the minority, we couldn't stop anything that Bush wanted to do,now that the GOP is the minority, they still stop us from doing anything! Is it that they hang together better? Why can't we muscle anything through? I think we have a larger majority in the House than they did, though I am not sure, and the Senate seems divided by the same numbers, so why can't we get any traction? I suspect it is the conservative Dems who are protecting their asses for reelection in both houses. Anybody else got an answer?
