First, calm down and take a breath if necessary. I mean that sincerely.

Then, please realize that the Dems would've known FAR in advance that there were MORE than enough votes for this to pass. Look at the final numbers. You don't think they knew ahead of time how it would play out? C'mon now, get real. They knew damn well how it would go and claiming they had to wait to ensure it would pass first before voting no, as if this was going to be some tight 50-50 cliffhanger, is all sorts of misguided wouldn't you agree? C'mon, think for a second. You'll agree.

They knew it would pass far in advance. This wasn't some calculated timing thing waiting with held breath hoping enough votes would be yes so they could vote no. The vote was a landslide. They didn't need to. Please, understand that.

One thing and one thing matters only in my opinion, as it relates to their votes: Which side did they want to go down ON RECORD as supporting; our side, or the other side? They picked our side. They chose our position. That's what goddamn matters. At least to me it is.

So please, ease up on them a bit. There's enough anger being thrown around already. At least try and direct it appropriately if you feel the need to express it.

As always; Peace,

OMC
