Rep. Boehlert is one member of the House who has the right idea about the budget reconciliation bill -- he opposes the bill because of the ANWR language and because it shows a "disconnect" by trimming spending on low-income programs, only to set the stage for tax cuts for the wealthy. Boehlert, apparently, had tbis to say to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL): "I told [him] I'm against euthanasia and I'm against human cloning." "He said, 'What do you mean?' I told him I'm against euthanasia because this could mean the orderly demise of our Republican majority. And I'm against human cloning because you're trying to recreate [our party] in the image of one sector" of the party. Many moderate Republicans are standing up against the extreme conservatives in their party who are trying to push contentious and harmful budget cuts in the reconciliation bill. Let's hope that their votes add up tomorrow.
