Coming soon to an election near you.

As I recall, Biden is the guy conservatives quote to prove that Kerry was pandering to Dean voters, and Biden went on to point out that there was no question that the money would be appropriated. In contrast, Bush gladly delayed creating the Dept. of Homeland Security in order to have a political issue, and -- per the post I quoted above -- Republicans are about to forego compromise legislation (proposed, initially, by the bipartisan 9/11 Commission) in favor of a House bill that they can use as a political weapon. The point of the exercise is to try to get Democrats to vote against the bill just before the election. The House bill omits most of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations.
