Whether it had been this CFR or any other form of so-called reform, it would have been meaningless because it is written by the very people who are to be guided by it. But the article is right about one thing.....when it all falls apart, it will be VERY important for all who didn't support it to point the finger back at McCain and every lib/dem who passed it. They will need to be reminded of how insipid and uninspiring their little game was. I for one will enjoy saying "I told you so."
This is clearly not true, only "reforms" backed by the Democrats are seen as good. Remember Welfare Reform? That was a mean trick by the Republicans to screw poor people, til of course Clinton stole the issue, then it was good.
I am afraid you have momentarily forgotten who you are talking about. These are the same people who already say we need more CF restrictions. These are the same people who say that education, welfare, etc., etc., only need more money to be successful. Many still say that the USSR failed only because they strayed from pure Communism, give it another chance. All are certified liars.
This is just a reminder that your values are the antithesis of theirs which causes your logic to fail when analyzing them.
