I really think the Republicans have lost their mind. By blocking this bill during an election year shows how heartless they really are and especially when they would only pay for it but cutting preventative health care coverage instead of increased taxes on the rich. This gives the Democrats a lot of ammunition in an election year as long as they know how to use it.

And they just dumped Dick Lugar without so much much as a goodbye 'Kiss My Ass.' Nominating Indiana state treasurer Mourdock, a local teabag favorite, had to be the only conceivable way to put a red state Senate seat in play in November.

I thought guys like Lugar were supposed to die in office.
