    I agree redbadger. This is not the time nor the place to slow down the DoD funding. All those other issues can be dealt with adequately after the DoD funding is taken care of.

    Having said the above, watch Cornyn to see if he introduces a bill to raise work-visa caps (H1-bs, L-1s, etc). He would be a grade 'A' hypocrite if he levies the criticism above, and then turns around and pursues his own special amendments as well.

    Lincoln wraps up 7:38am PT.


    Dorgan speaking now (D-ND) 7:39am PT.

    Speaking about SCHIP program/related funding, DoD funding, etc.

    Let me paraphrase and summarize - there's a lot of party-line bickering going on at the moment. The gist of it is basically:

    Democrats: "You Republicans don't want to take care of our most vulnerable persons"
    Republicans: "Come on, quit stalling/deviating from getting the critical funds to our military".

    Democrats: "You dirty SOBs!"
    Republicans: "You dirty SOBs too!"

    (repeat the above ...ad nauseum)

    They're talking about raising taxes on cigarettes to pay for children's health care. What about alcohol? Look at the health hazards of drinking. But that doesn't count? I think they are teetering on discrimination here.

    I do like this from Dorgan:

    "How about taking care of things here at home?"

    I think it's a good question to ask, and needs to be answered too.

    IMO, it's a poor mans tax. While the educated in our society smoke too, it's no secret that the majority of smokers are the less educated (in many cases the poor). Kennedy had the nerve to say the SCHIP expansion will not be payed for by taxpayers. I don't understand his line of thinking on that because who in the world does he thinks is buying those cancer sticks?
