I think it's a "stain" on these Demonicrats for bringing this bill as payback for what the Repellicans already did as payback for Judas Jefford's defection.
I think it's a "stain" on you for thinking that politics should ever be used as a mere tool for rewarding your friends, while punishing your enemies... To the point that laws like this penetrate down into everyday lives and everyday business affairs!
With your constant "cheerleading" for "the little guy" and urging people in either major party to "encourage" any particular "reward" for some perceived "morality" or other, you are encouraging the "abuse" of the power of the people, vested in these elected representatives!!!
It may be "populism" to you Willie, but to me, it's turning our representatives of either stripe into nattering naybob nazinannies of negativity and increases my contempt of "populism" and my contempt of congress... because "The doggone idiots" CAN'T "set politics aside now and then and just plain do the right thing if it's the right thing to do."
They CAN'T because folks like you think they're helpin the underdawg, comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, and really they're just playing "get-even-with-'em-ism" with each other to no one's benefit. Yet you cheer them on if you agree with it as "the right thing to do!!!
I think you stained your brain with some kind of hallucinogen.
I never advocated that politics be used to reward friends and punish enemies.
I stated very clearly up front on this thread that I prefer "truth in labeling".
If I purchase milk or cheese, I want it to be REAL milk or cheese. NOT some artificial crap masquerading as milk or cheese.
