but there were still enough Democrats to fight him on it. It took the Obama administration to finally bring grover norquist's and bill bennet's dream to life.

I never want to see another republican administration in my life, not even one that calls itself Democrat. This is one of those things like nixon to China. Had we lost in 2008, many things would be worst, but we wouldn't have had our schools, our teachers, and out children sold off this way. Without a Democrat calling for this travesty, the party I have worked for for 40+ years would have fought this to the death. Now my party just shrugs and makes bill bennet grin. Fuck the union. Fuck the children. There are corporations to please.
