We can never beat the GOP at being ruthless, but we have to let some of the result fall on their heads.

Many could die or suffer needlessly.

That's the tragedy of it, and I think that's why the Democrats always seem to cave in on these things, while Republicans just don't care.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862667475294262246noreply@blogger.com
