Deroy Murdock celebrates the nine Rs that voted against the Medicare Bill. It's a rare day when I go with the Senate and not W, but as Murdock intones:
This is a dark day for believers in limited government. To see MPDIMA emerge from a reputedly Republican Congress is especially galling. Still, if there are any rays of sunshine this morning, they are the nine Republicans who voted against this act of fiscal vandalism. Some of them spoke with refreshing candor about this dreadful measure.A dark day indeed. As an optimist, I hope that Karl Rove now has his Medicare and Education bills, and that the profligacy may now end. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
