Congressional Ineptitude...yet again
I feel Congress is so bogged down by partisanship that it now is detrimental to millions of Americans on a daily basis. I can't wait for the 2008 election. Hopefully by then the Dems. will have found a single candidate that they can unify behind.

Re: Congressional Ineptitude...yet again
For those of you who mocked my support of the current Congress, this is one of the reasons why I like them. This bill would have meant an important improvement in health care for millions of children. Majority Leader Reid has indicated that Congress will pass a similar bill in the future and I hope they do. It's important legislation and good politics to boot.

Re: Congressional Ineptitude...yet again
Hmm, yeah, partisanship sucks. We should have one party, with a big majority in both chambers of Congress. No more bickering, just one party in charge. I mean look how great the country has been with Bush and the Republicans from 2000 to 2006 . . . oh wait.

Re: Congressional Ineptitude...yet again
Some folks over at Redstate seem to get it. This is what Nancy wanted. A Veto is likely the best case scenario, or at worst 2nd best, depending on how good the press would have been if they got it passed. Now Democrats have major ammo to add seats next year beyond what they already had and Republicans are feeling somewhat cocky again after this and coming within 6% of Tsongas.
