1. No ,he's not crazy.
He's stubborn and too idealistic. Sometimes you can't go from zero to 100 in one shot. It's a stupid vote, even for a purist. The article said the vote was going to pass anyway, but does that make it right? If it comes down to overriding a veto, can Dennis be counted on to insure some children as opposed to no children? Because that's what it comes down to. Frankly, I feel lucky this even has a shot of passing at all, with bush's record of "fiscal discipline" he seems to tout so much. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and take a small win now, and try for a bigger one from a position of strength (democratic president), rather than taking loss after loss for the sake of your ideals.
