Of course, it was no secret. Why would Dems want to keep it secret? They stand only to gain from this, especially from their base. Republicans are the worst in the world at
PR and Bush's veto promise, while probably solid, doesn't have a whole lot of credibility coming from the guy who led the charge for the Medicare pres. drug benefit. He's right on this one and he has a chance of winning the battle, but he will lose the war. Every Dem running for pres. wants socialized medicine and there's no chance of the GOP taking back the House or Senate in '08. So this is going to happen unless a true conservative becomes president in '08. Get your wallets out and be ready to see everyone standing in line for health care like at the worst Kaiser Perm. office.
