Reply #70: The Politics of Reagan is More than the Re-Naming!

[coreystone]

NOW! Other than the Reagan “deification” by Frist, I would care to become involved with a more serious matter of how democracy operates within the “legislative” body of our country. This is very much related to the use of an amendment that Frist wishes to “offer (as) the idea to gauge reaction”.

The issue of whether “this” is renamed “that”, or “that” is renamed “this” is absolutely bizarre to me. I fully understand the “renaming”, or, originally “naming” of anything for ANY former president. Obviously, things can get out of hand. I am 100% against any currency being replaced or initiated with “Reagan in hand”. I wouldn’t care if there was some bridge somewhere that was named after Reagan.

What I care about is the legislative process that allows so many AMENDMENTS to be “tacked on” to MAJOR legislation for the purpose of politics. And, this has much more to do with the everyday “business” of Congress, than it has to do with Reagan. This is so confusing the American public who take the time to review their representatives record. A member of Congress may vote against a “bill” because of a “certain” amendment being tacked onto it, but that member may have not been against the main body of legislation. Does this start sounding familiar in the case of Kerry??

Oh! By the way I like Hamilton on the “TEN”, and, FDR on the “TEN”!
