In other words, it's not rotten because they did it too!

Must politics make us all into such children?

The legacy of the negative, perhaps how they undercut the middle class is going to be it.

Well, I guess that'll be an improvement over crafting hundreds of bills legislation only to see them stalled by Harry Reid.

They were essentially the same kind of bills, bills meant to make a statement to the base, but not intended to pass.

Bush got the Medicare Prescription Drug Program passed.

The Bill sucks and is a giveaway to the drug companies, but that can be fixed in time and it's better than what we had before.

Everything else he did was a train wreck for everyone except the rich.
