Probably because the Shrub was giving them everything they wanted to begin with, and were just making a show of it for their kook base.The democrats compromise too much with the republicans.....Oh, to laugh!!
You have a short memory. Every time the emergency supplemental came up for debate, the Dems ultimately caved when Bush would refuse to sign the bill with timetables. They caved on FISA rules concerning telecom snooping. They caved on the drug bill when the pubs refused to let it pass requiring price negotiation. Republicans had their Ace in the Hole--George W. Bush--who would threaten veto if he didn't get what he wanted. The Democrats knew that, so ultimately slunk back to their respective corners. No "compromise" necessary.
Of course, they were all for the Big Brother surveillance crap when Bubba and Reno were proposing them, and they knew it.
