I want to say cognitive dissonance, but it's a lot more simple. I'm often frustrated by those I vote for, but I feel a sense of ownership, responsibility for them. So any excuse I would make for myself in their situation I might afford to them by extension. Would DC_Dux have been elected to Congress, I honestly don't know if he would have voted for or against this bill. I would hope against. When his Democratic Congress voted in favor, it presented a set of decisions: do I agree with this bill? If no, do I agree with my Democrats voting for it? If yes, why? I, Willravel, can't answer these questions. I hope DC doesn't think I'm picking on him, I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, but I do see him as a loyal Democrat. And loyalty to ideology is an affront to free thinking.
DC, if you were a Congressman when this bill was presented for voting, would you have voted in favor or against?
