You do that as well as anyone and better than most. So I wouldn’t say you were wrong, but that you were doing an effective job. However, (yes, there’s a however) you give to much credit to the “…Democrats who stood by their guns to fight for the people down to the bloody end.” And too little credit to the “…dozen or so Republican moderates who joined the majority near the end of the session to salvage much of this legislation.” It doesn’t take much fortitude to vote with your own majority. However, the Republicans who ultimately made the difference had to vote against their own party. Those Republicans are, in my opinion, the ones who deserve the bulk of credit because they have shown themselves to be non-partisans. It’s the partisans who will obstruct. We will never have a Congress for the people so long as there are partisans who will not cross the isle. The next Congress will see Republicans with only one interest; unseat Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214737104956628616.post-90428986876263146842010-12-26T23:41:06.057-05:002010-12-26T23:41:06.057-05:00Don- It takes a big man to admit he was wrong.
