... took place when Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Plan) was pushed thru with the Republican-controlled congress during the Bush Administration... Thems how things works when either party is in control.

This time around, though... the Republicans are in the wilderness... other than the few ideas they have come up with regarding healtcare, they've done very little to even slow down the Dems... while falling for the oldest trick in the book that dates back to the Roman Senate... They are so deeply entwined in a web right now that they have no idea as to what's going on. They took the bait...

...and, at present, the Republicans are back to where they were when Palin was dragging McCain thru the mud... and instead of utilizing FOX as they should have; by presenting something what they thought might have been some good ideas to incorporate into a decent bill that both sides could have mutually agreed upon... they took the back-woods approach, instead, by crying that nobody is listening to them. Where was FOX; asleep... or are they burning the candle on both ends for ratings?

BTW, the Socialism gig went out the window six months ago... your Glenn Beck guy needs to try something else... Ain't nobody fallin' for no namecallin' round here...
