I Have A Question... No... Wait... A Real One!
I was just reading how the Democrats "snuck" net neutrality into the stimulus bill... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3692656

Well, couldn't someone like... oh... say... Dennis Kucinich sneak something into some other random bill that gave equal rights to the GLBT community? Or maybe someone who was retiring after '10?

Would something like that work? Or is that just wishful thinking?

I mean, if the pukes could sneak through all that horrible stuff by burying it in thousands of legalese, couldn't we pass some really good stuff the same way? I hate to be so damned sneaky, but... Fuck! We need to get some shit done.

1. Sneaky works for me.
:evilgrin:

Like chimpy and his "Clean Skies" initiative that allowed for more pollution?

Perhaps, the "PGMA Act?"

Protect Gay Marriage Act, tied in to a Congressional raise?

2. Oooh! That Would Be Poetic!
Now, that's one raise I'd have no problem with.

3. I wouldn't put it past the fanatics
to not bother to read all the bills but get electronic copies and search for any key works (like equal, rights, marriage, abortion, fetus, etc) just to avoid something exactly like that. As sneaky as the Dems can be, the Repukes win the sneaky game every time.

4. They lost just lost one today though.
But yeah... I know... probably wishful thinking.

6. It would be really nice if someone in the progressive caucus
would try. :)
