Apparently you don't. CFR as passed was a feel good measure(reform, get money out of politics, yada, yada, yada) and to the average Joe it does not threaten them in any way. And when you thump your chest and scream "this is the end of the world" people will say, "big deal".

Likewise, if it had been vetoed people would have said *shrug* "big deal". But in your view, suddenly the dynamic changes and the vetoed bill becomes a political hot button. Coincidentally, that works to benefit your argument (while defying all logic).

How...convenient.

Uh no, if it had been vetoed demos would have gotten out the talking points ("Bush is against reform, yada, yada, yada).

The point being a veto, negative press over a bill people didn't have negative feelings about. Signing, no negative press about a bill people have no negative feelings about and didn't think would affect their daily lives and actually do some good(in people's minds) of getting negative political ads off the air.

Yeah I know it's politcs, but we don't live in a perfect world.

BTW, same thing about the Janet Jackson and Howard Stern controversies. If you are against CFR then you should be against the FCC trying to clean up TV and radio.

I know, I know, negative political ads and what Janet Jackson did are not the same, but people equate negative political ads with what Janet Jackson did. They have the same reaction to both.
