At least half the freepers here will put the blame on all republicans, not just the 3 traitors. That, is the really sad thing.

‘They’ pull crap like this because they can.
Were this the LIBs/DEMs, the defectors or anyone going against the policy (UNLESS the vote doesn’t count and going against the grain(constituents) would cost them a seat) the (so called) Leadership would strip them of ANY responsible positions and make the 3 of them run the coat room and coffee mess (as long as NO cash payouts were involved).
If not mistaken when this originally passed there were NO D dissidents and very little ‘public whining’ from their side.
I go back to my original ‘idea’....
Strip the exemptions and MAKE every living breathing soul come under the BOScare program.
Then you will get some ‘results’.
I’ve said for 20 years that all laws apply to all people, period. The application includes all politicians, lawyers, judges, and races. The exemptions for the important people and groups are simply too overwhelming to even keep track of, all of which rests with the lawyers that run every aspect of every government, including local, state, and federal.
