Does anyone think the Democrats may be showing a little more spine?

Advertisements [?]

They didn't give in and water down SCHIP. There will be the first override of a Bush veto (which I'm very happy about because it shows the separation of powers still has a faint pulse.) Now, we might be directing how war funds must be spent. I believe the Dem leaders know Dennis is right more than they'll say. Now they won't go as far as I would like, and the Repukes, with their bully and authoritarian mentality, still won't respect us much unless we keep it up. But maybe there's hope that Pelosi, Hoyer, and Reid are listening to what Dennis and other supporters of a stronger approach are saying.
