The Republicans are taking a second look at Nancy Pelosi's "Minority Bill of Rights"... it seems to be a bit more attractive right now.

This GOP effort is considerably different than what Pelosi proposed if you read the fine print.

Yesterday NPR's tone shifted to the triumphalism they celebrated Clinton with. It is possible that their unpaid advertising could help shift the perception, which they've promoted, that the President is the ultimate authority in this country, by giving too much credit to Congress.

I followed the original link and that was one of the opinions of a poster (4th one down).

OK, thanks. I hadn't read the comments by the peanut gallery and hadn't seen any more than her introduction at the top of the Rep's letter.

After reading her original proposal, it sounds like a fair approach to the minority party. Conversely, the Republican letter, seems to be three paragraphs of whining and three ideas she had already covered in her proposal. Kind of a thin outline.

Even better. Pelosi can enact exactly what she proposed while in the minority, and look even better.
