The fact of the matter is that this article came from the website of a rival presidential candidate and that it deliberately distorts the content of the bill. Further more, the "dozen" happen to be a dirty dozen and are known anti-Republican agitators--the sort who are STILL proud they voted for Ross Perot. They, like the Greens and a million other hopeless microparties, won't be happy with anyone who refuses to ram their idea of utopia down our throats. It is likely on this basis that Uncle Bill, the poster of this article, has been banned.
I therefore propose that this thread be treated with the same level of contempt and request an immediate ZOT. Further more, Uncle Bill should be flayed by the Viking Kittens and the floor should left open for further mockery.
JMHO, o' course! :p
