| 61. So you believe the commission's report is a good thing? |
|
The direct quotes are the thing to which I referred. You know, where they said what a good job and great start the commission had done.
The other part was a summary of the commission's suggestions. Do you think the commission did not call for these things? What progressive measures did the commission produce or suggest. I'm not talking about campaign speeches or chest thumping. I'm talking about the report of the commission that these 64 members said achieved "meaningful progress".
Play with words all you want. What we have here is the beginning of a cave in, the preliminary courting steps that lead to another republican gift.
