It was a mistake when it started and is an even bigger mistake today and needs to be done away with altogether.
IMO, the most pathetic thing is that the
rare pol that suggests eliminating crap like that, departments/agencies at a time, and is actually serious about following through on it, gets mocked by some of the very people who go on the internet and piss moan holler and complain about those exact agencies.
Note the PDS on the Palin threads with ‘staunch’ right wingers repeating all the lib arguments against her. Just as an example. Oh sure, they SAY they back her on the issue, then find 8 million reasons to make sure she never sees elected office.
How odd...isn’t that EXACTLY the same game the GOP plays with voting? Say they back X issue, then do all they can to make sure it does not get voted on...or only vote in the affirmative when the issue is doomed to failure and vice versa?
Yup. It is.
