New Day, Same Old Problem
Ah Leadership
Despite having control of both houses of Congress, the GOP has been plagued by underachievement. Oh yes, they've passed the tax cut, followed by the confusing and expensive Medicare Drug coverage for seniors. But they've failed to pass any spending bills, an energy bill has died at least twice in conference. Now my dear old republicans can't agree on which version of the FMA to pass. Coincidence, I think not. Remember, the state ballot initiatives are part of their electoral strategy, they would be rendered redundant if the FMA moves through the Senate (and they'd be rendered void if it were ratified). So, more mucking it up by the 'leadership'.
