Why not just get it settled because they know it is going to happen...point of forcing a vote is what ?

Also you did NOT present that there was another proposal, and you did not present that both sides know they will settle
Bucco, Buggy's really got a valid point this time, while you're trying to sound so impartial by criticizing both parties for politicizing this issue. But you're just trying to wiggle out of admitting the Republicans are advocating an embarrassing, indefensible position here. You're sounding like Romney, who spent the day again insisting he engineered the auto company rescue through managed bankruptcy. He HAS to manufacture some way, no matter how false, to cast doubt on what the bailout did for GM & Chrysler.

You know as well as I that an overwhelming majority of Americans favor the Democrats' student loan proposal for obvious reasons. But you have to hedge again, another one of what I've called your 'yeah buts.' Your position here is almost identical to last week's 'yeah buts' on crediting Obama with showing real leadership ability in the bin Laden incident.


And even though the campaigning has officially begun you object to the parties politicizing?!? ! That's hypocritical. For as long as I can remember, you have posted every scrap of information you could politically spin into either support for Obama opponents or in opposition to virtually anything the President has done.
