What could be worse than losing the war on terror?

Let's see what a decidedly conservative former republican congressmen has to say about the democrats agenda.

To counter that perception, House Democrats have formulated a plan of action for their first week in control. Their leaders said a Democratic House would quickly vote to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 1997. It would roll back a provision in the Republicans' Medicare prescription drug benefit that prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from negotiating prices for drugs offered under the program.

It would vote to fully implement the recommendations of the bipartisan panel convened to shore up homeland security after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Democratic leaders said.

And it would reinstate lapsed rules that say any tax cuts or spending increases have to be offset by spending cuts or tax increases to prevent the federal deficit from growing.

Armey dismissed the substance of the Democratic proposals as demagoguery but said that the politics "really, frankly, are not too bad."
================================================

I don't know of too many americans who would argue with changing a part of the new prescrition drug law that has widely been seen as a debacle and giveaway to the drug companies or for actually following the reccommendations of the panel for security after 9-11 which the GOP has virtually ignored. The minimum wage thing isn't a big thing as that's a more ttargeted group type of policy. A guy like Dick Armey is blunt when he says the politics of their proposals are good. He's gotta leave his party room to attack it but he can be honest enough to acknowledge and realize people will pay attention and it puts them in a bad spot.
