Freepers who don't read articles before they make posts that make it painfully evident that they didn't read the article are the absolutely stupidest posters on the planet.
Do we all agree?
FReegards!
It is a basic rule of lobbying that you don’t fashion the bullet that is then used to kill you. If the other side passes a bad law, you don’t do anything to help them out. You let them feel the public wrath until they cave.
One bad law here (land use restrictions) took us almost a decade to repeal, but after the municipality had been hit with judgments of about $5 million total imposed by multiple courts who held their application of the law violated civil rights, they finally agreed to repeal it because they couldn’t afford the fines and penalties any more.
When we won our first victory in court and the municipality’s lawyer indicated they were willing to “work with us” to amend the law to make it “more tolerable,” we said screw you, if you don’t do a total repeal we’ll see you in court again (and again).
I’m still working on collecting the last $95,000 penalty. Usually when I start liening the municipality’s properties, that has results.
“...From the full article: “Are these enough? Of course not full repeal is needed to keep this law from doing more damage to our economy and jacking up costs on Americans.””

Actually the stupidest posters on the planet are those who actually believe someone who says things like “full repeal is needed” and then takes absolutely ZERO steps to do so.
And not take only ZERO steps to advance full repeal but pass some laws that will remove some of the incentives that would motivate some “fence sitting” legislators to actually vote for full repeal.
