There must be more Republicans in the Senate than I thought....a 90 - 8 vote ?
1) Bush White House didn't attack terrorist mastermind on several occasions.
Why? Because he was in Iraq, and a "premature" missile attack might decrease international support for the invasion. Hard to think it could be much lower than it was!
2) Senate kills bill protecting gun makers. The NRA and its Republican allies don't care about criminals and terrorists having access to assault weapons, as long as "good gunowners" get to play with their high-powered toys. The rest of us have to put up with all sorts of inconveniences and restraints on our liberties in the name of "security," but to these folks the right to own any weapon you want is supreme -- they give "extremist" a bad name, and the Republicans' giving in to them marks a new low in political pandering.
