SIDING WITH THE RUSSIANS AGAINST THE US IS JUST A REFLEX FOR DEMOCRATS AT THIS POINT:

Democrats join chorus against missile shield (Thom Shanker, May 9, 2007, NY Times)

The Bush administration's proposal to construct two missile-defense bases in Europe has roiled relations with Russia and provoked sharp questioning in NATO capitals, where critics ask: With the system still unproved and, under the best of circumstances, years from completion, why rush construction now?

Now the Democratic majority in Congress is moving toward budget cuts aimed at slowing the administration's plans to break ground this year on a missile interceptor base in Poland.

Do you think their caucus still weeps for the Sandinistas?
