Lobbyists and the two-party system. It doesn't matter WHO wins, politicos answer to the lobbies that are wining and dining them. I've lived long enough to know that what it takes to win an election and what is actually done after it is won are two very different things...
Either the tune changed or the key you were playing it in. You claimed politicos would listen to the money men regarding ED. My claim is that a groundswell will cause them to toss the money men over in a heartbeat. A gorundswell is a distinct possibility, especially if the President takes this opportunity to use the bully pulpit and advocate for conservative judges and justices. Think of it, "Ladies and Gentlemen this is the reason I've been trying to confirm judges who will adhere to a strict reading of the laws and the Constitution. What you've seen in the SCOTUS vis a vis property rights in CT is liberals on the court gone wild and what you've been seeing in Congress is liberals fillibustering the judges who will protect your private property rights."
You agree or disagree? :-}
