ROTFLMAO....

Nobody... welcome to American politics... did you ACTUALLY believe that Congress reads & understands even a fraction of the bills that come out to a vote?!? Most of them get their marching orders from the Party bosses, and now from splinter groups on how to vote... it is the rare individual who actually pays attention and votes for the common good of the country or else their conscience.

That's how crap gets snuck in at the last minute... SOP. You really need to read up on American political history... we mostly have "professional" politicians in office, not citizens who are fulfilling their civic duty. Term limits and getting rid of the Citizen's United decision would be a good start to returning government back to a more democratic institution.

It's not really funny, but as long as the majority of voters act like mindless sheep, it's what we get.
