either way, weak release by his camp. |
The way I was reading it was that it
wasn't having an effect on poker, but I see what you're saying Hornsfan. Thanks for the input as I've always struggled w/that particular word and its usage myself
A very weak release ... and I love that Frank is being so positive w/his statement about having votes. Shiver those right-wing timbers
Unlike most of the writing I've seen on this bill chastising Frank for not doing enough, I think he's doing what is viable at this juncture? Remember, Frist had the full support of the Bush camp to push the bill through the Congress in the dead of night, so in order to fight that, you do it w/a small victory here, a small victory there .. similar to what the Dems are doing w/the War Funding bill right now. Losing a major battle can be construed as losing the war, but winning a smaller battle here an there, can come across as winning the war ...
