I started off the last hour talking about the fact that tomorrow or the next day that Democrats, Republicans would be able to show their true colors as it relates to the redeployment of troops, something we have already voted on and the President vetoed.

I can see it even going down to almost health care employment discrimination saying, well, if you have a preexisting condition, I don't need you in my group or in my company because you are going to cost us all more.
