The above is what I think is going on with this issue. I have not read/heard/seen anything that would change my preconceived view on this.
I also think Democrats have been politically grandstanding on many other issues since the beginning of Bush's term. My test comes down to a basic question: What would I do if I believed what Democratic Party leaders say they believe? On most of the issues my actions would be far different than what Democratic leaders actually do. To a degree the difference may be more about the nature of all politicians (and I am certainly not a politician or diplomatic) and because I generally support Bush, the actions of Democrats stand out. But like I wrote in the past there are things the Republican Congress did during Clinton's administration that I did not support and felt was political grandstanding.
