Is anyone else amazed at the speed with which the democrat bait-and-switch got pulled off?

Are you laughing at the democrats who failed to read the Patriot Act before voting for it?
No - because those idjits would have voted for it regardless - they were caught up in their 'patriotism' (that whole don't stand up for what you believe in because you might lose votes gig).

I would have said 9 months of honeymoon before Pelosi remembered she was a liberal.

As is, she is going to make life very difficult for the freshman democrats. Because when Newt came in with the big freshman class EVERYONE knew what the agenda was, and that's more or less why they got voted in. A lot of the freshmen democrats claim to be moderate.

I am - I thought they would wait at least six months before pulling this crap.

And, oh look at that. I guess the democrats have friends in the business community too...

Not a big surprise - they all work in the same whorehouse.

No.

I also don't know anyone who voted democrat who thinks the party is lily-white.

OTOH, they're not hitting on pages and covering it up, or letting the president erode our civil rights and lead us into debt up to our eyeballs, yet, so it's still an improvement.
