Russ Feingold is on the right subject... |
|
the huge debt and the Republican inability to pay for anything. That is the winning issue, I am convinced.

there are the makings of a huge 2006 backlash against the republicans, on the issue of the deficit.
The main defense the republicans have is to blame 9/11 (Pete Dominici used it this morning on C-span), but that can only take them so far.

6. Voinovich says he does not think their amendment will pass. Republicans |
|
call themselves "conservative", yet most of them are not. They will mark in lock step for Dubya whose aim it is to borrow, tax cut and spend-so that there will be no money to pay for anything other than the Pentagon budget--Eisenhower's military, industrial, and yes, government complex.
It is a sorry legacy to leave their children and grandchildren which Voinovich, to his credit, refuses to be a part of.

7. So far it's only McCain, Snowe, Chafee, and Collins joining Voinovich. |

Where are the fiscal conserve Republicans? Answer. There aren't but a handful of fiscally conservative Republicans anymore. The Democrats have become the party of fiscal sanity.
If it is a tie, will Cheney be able to break the tie or will the amendment fail? I think it will fail.

9. Vote was 50-50, a tie, so it fails. A sad day for fiscal sanity. |

11. What a shame this bill failed |
|
This bill has been overlooked because of ANWAR, but it was really crucial to try & start a realistic budget process.

about the diet and how you can change your calorie total every time you have cake and a few beers and it might taste good now, but you'll feel it later!
It was perfect.
