	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://norunnyeggs.com/2009/12/and-yet-they-proceed/comment-page-1/#comment-38153&quot;&gt;Soapbox Jill&lt;/a&gt;.

No doubt.  However, if they voted for what their states wanted, I&#039;d be willing to bet the bill wouldn&#039;t have gotten more than 20 votes!  Clearly people like Ben Nelson, Jim Webb, Mary Landrieu, Evan Bayh and others, are not voting the way their constituents want them to.  Heck, even in leftest MN, Placebocare is not favored.  That puts two of the hardest core leftests, Klobuchar and Franken, on the wrong side of the vote!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But remember, we&#039;ve got a republic, so our elected reps and leaders can do what&#039;s &quot;best for us&quot; - not what the masses would vote to do (in a direct democracy.) Sometimes, being a republic is frustrating, much as I praise the concept for most cases!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, I seem to remember Pres. Bush saying he would sign McCain Feingold, expecting it to be overturned by the courts.  That didn&#039;t work out so well than and I doubt it would this time either.  That said, I&#039;m open to all options.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Speculate with me.......

Likely a bunch of the (D) folk know that the bill is un-constitutional (take your pick--5th, 10th Amendments plus &quot;mandate&quot;, wherever that fits.)

So they can vote &quot;yes,&quot; knowing full well that the bill will be squashed by the Courts.

But they also make the nutroots happy, and QueenNancy/Harry/Barry, all at the same time.]]></description>
