Default Re: Interesting ... potential DoD bill clusterfu*k

Honestly, I think there's a possibility that Hastert is trying to force a stalemate. I think he figures that if the bill passes with his riders attached, that gives Republicans a couple of extra talking points for the campaign trail. And if it doesn't pass, that might be even better, because he can tar Democrats with the "OBSTRUCTIONIST!" brush.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully he has chosen to accept this mission.
