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.

Here are the facts...
Senate controlled by Democrats.
BOTH parties are negotiating and KNOW they will come up with a compromise.
Despite, the Democrats put up for a vote a bill that they knew would not pass with funding they knew would be the most political sensitive for the Republicans.
The leader of the senate Harry Reid votes against it because that allows him to bring it back up as he knows will occur with the compromise.
Now, what did I say wrong here ?
They now have the headline the want.....the legislation will pass in the future with funding which probably will have nothing to do with either mentioned.
SOOO...what is your point > I just do not get it. They put a bill up to vote that they knew had no chance for ONE SIMPLE reason.
What am I seeing wrong here...and I dont do "yeah buts".....the other issue you mentioned was easy..I complimented when it happened...I did not like an ad about Obama USING it and even mentioning the other candidate...thats it...very clear...no yeah buts
And I believe that njbchbum is correct that the funding used in the Republican is slated go be gone anyway, but dont see how that changes what the Dems did...smart move and you folks who drink the party kool aid buy into it.
