The Lewis and Clark County Democratic Central Committee has issued a news release condemning U.S. Sen. Max Baucus for supporting the Medicare bill.

“This horrendous bill is a first step toward the goal of the Republican Congress and the Bush administration to destroy Medicare through privatization,” said Paul Edwards, Vice-President of the County Central Committee. “We condemn Senator Baucus’s contribution to that effort.” The release favors a compromise bill that passed the Senate earlier.

The release calls on other Democratic central committees in Montana to condemn Baucus as well. First the Republican attack him; now the Democrats do. Can't a fellow just get along?
