I think you have understood this all along.
Where did "they all think alike" come from. I never said that. In-fact I have questioned why they don't sit down and come together a develop an alternative plan to the Bush plan that they can agree on, or at least get passed. Given the rhetoric that the Bush plan has failed, I think Congress has an obilgation to put forth an alternative plan or shut-up.

So i am still at a loss for what Rat's point is. If his point is that they don't all think alike, o.k., I agree.
