Reply #55: Well... [View All]

let me just say that the vast majority of people in the country are not going to get bogged down in legal minutae. And most are very angry at this govt and are waiting for someone to speak the truth about what is happening.

IMO Our biggest problem isn't how we frame the debate now that it has passed. Our biggest problem now is that the 7 Senate Dems that voted for this thing sold us out for political expediency. Now the argument becomes "Well, if the bill was so bad then why did Stabenow and others in your party vote for it?". They didn't even attempt to filibuster. "Well, if it was so bad then why didn't you filibuster? You filibustered some judges a few months back."

When, not if, Bush starts abusing this law, the same damned Dems who didn't fight this with all their might are going to be smeared and humiliated for it.
