All this sanity suddenly being displayed by the Democrats is designed to take some of the steam out of the Tea Party Rebellion. It is aimed at those mushy moderates and disenchanted Democrats who are about to jump ship. The idea is to make them think that maybe the Democrats aren't as bad as they first thought.
Don't be deceived. It is just another Democrat lie.
Au Contraire. Clinton is well aware that the best thing that could have happened to him was the election of the republican majority at his mid term.
