I'm looking for the dems to stand up to the bomb-throwers and not let them get away with throwing bombs in exchange for hostage demands anymore. The time for deals is during budget negotiations, not when we're about to pay the nation's bills. My point is that caving to terrorists only encourages more future terrorism. Remember that whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing that this county has always been about since the 1970's? It comes into play here for the very same reason. You don't allow precedents to be set that revolve around negotiation-by-threat-of-catastrophe. That's my point.
