I thought that this would be an article from The Onion. If I voted against this, and then ran against this guy in an upcoming election, this guy's campaign ads would go something like this:

Ben Richards voted against legislation that would keep kids in school safe from flashers...

That's how these guys do it.

Well, if you are smart you attach an amendment to the bill that forces it back into committee -- something like politically-correct language that makes it gender-neutral, written in such a way as to make the law totally ambiguous. Then you get the committee to deal with other, more pressing business, first. Pretty soon it is the end of the legislative session, and -- ya know -- we never did get around to votin' on that politically-correct, gender-neutral anti-flashing bill, did we?
