Greg: "So apparently, Beardy, you have a problem with how a constitutional republic (a.k.a. demorcracy for the most part) functions.
Please elaborate."

Do you mean, like ,"Pass this bill so we can see what's in it"?--Pelosi

not even the Democrats who voted for it had even read it, or knew what was in it....so you should re-phrase your original question to; ""So apparently, Democrats, you have a problem with how a constitutional republic.."

...and by the way, a republic means that we are represented by representatives....which were representing us, when nobody, including them, even knew what was in it??..Right?

Now before you spout off some banal insult, THINK about what I just posted...and you will see that the opposition to all this, is not based on some racially bigoted, crazy right wing lunacy....the Democrats fucked up mightily, by doing it this way.
My contention is that both parties were in on it...in a way that circumvented disclosure to the public, so it was in essence being negotiated and passed behind closed doors, with a lot of back room wheeling dealing...and THAT is FACT, and history....and a fucking shame!
