Guess you just answered my question. XD
If this passes the GOP will take the blame with Bush signing it. Then we will have no chance of winning in '08. Something tells me they know this but don't care. Maybe it's cause the Bush crowd isn't running for re-election.
Kuma, it's because the President wants this bill and he wasn't happy the congress blocked it last time around; he;s been trying for this since the summer of 2001.
