Oh believe me, I'd love to keep the issues seperate. Unfortunately,
the authors of the bill took that option away from me. I'm just
indicating my displeasure at the politicizing of an issue that should
be non-partisan. I think we can all agree to that. The complete
inaction on the part of Republicans makes me even more angry. It's
almost like they are content to leave this issue along as long as they
are winning. That does nothing more than fuel the conspiracy theories.
