Seriously -- it isn't just DREAM, or immigration - how about DADT, or Health Care, or ..um ANYTHING. The Republicans have gotten their way on everything they want simply by digging in their heels and saying f* you while the Dems scurry about appeasing and bowing and scraping and hoping reason will prevail if they just compromise enough. ick.
So ya, growing a pair and pushing through CIR ? no.
