Blame the Democrats

For the failure of the SCHIP legislation? That is what Mike Leavitt, secretary of Health and Human Services, says.

I don't.

I've already written Sen John Thune, R-SD, to tell him how disappointed I was in his vote on the issue and unless he voted to override the veto, I certainly would remember his heartless act when he runs for re-election in a few years.

Again, I didn't leave the Republican Party. They left me.

(Sounds familiar, doesn't it?)
