Those who believe that Steny Hoyer “caved” to the Bush Administration are mistaken.\u00c2\u00a0 He “caved” to the Telecom Firm interests, and “caving” may not really be the operable term.\u00c2\u00a0 Really, I’ve known this coming as for the past few months, even after the House scuttled this, Hoyer had been making noises insisting that a “sensible compromise” was, indeed, “possible”.\u00c2\u00a0 Hoyer being the Democratic Majority Leader, that means it is his priority (if not anyone else’s down the chain of the Democrats) and it will a’happen.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The implications: If the president asks\u00c2\u00a0you to do something illegal and you do it, you will get immunization.\u00c2\u00a0 My head hurts.<\/p>\n
The ironic thing is here is that\u00c2\u00a0we would be better off with a Republican Congress — the Democratic minority had scuttled this issue better than the Democratic majority — and the implications of that thought are pretty depressing.<\/p>\n
I have had a particular matter in my back pocket, waiting to bring this up.\u00c2\u00a0 Those three special elections everyone has been celebrating, the three special elections which have had the Republican Party quaking in their boots.\u00c2\u00a0 I have been waiting for one of these set-up votes to see where these Democrats stand.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a 2 to 1 split for the Immunity Bill.\u00c2\u00a0 The man from Illinois was against.\u00c2\u00a0 The other two?\u00c2\u00a0 You know the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
