Did You Know That My Opponent Voted Against That Bill?Why would a perfectly good politician vote against a perfectly good Bill? Na-na-na-na, Na-na. Gasp! Wonderment! An opponent voted against a vital issue - and should now be shunned by the American public. But before we ride anyone out on a rail, let's take a closer look. Why would a political go-getter vote against a perfectly logical Bill? Well, at times it's a bit like buying a car. Something like this.... Customer Bill goes onto a car lot and chooses a pretty good looking car that has a pretty good looking price sticker attached to it. But once inside the finance office, things suddenly take a twist. That $15,000 car suddenly becomes a $25,000 car. When Bill asks what the devil happened to the original price, the financial officer wastes no time in explaining. Tax, title, license - oh, and that $15,000? Well, that was the base price - one that didn't include air-conditioning or an automatic transmission. That had to be added to the price, of course. And by the time that Bill figures up the entire cost of the vehicle after finance charges, he discovers that the car cost him more than double the original price tag. As Bills pass before lawmakers, they may arrive in simplicity but by the time that they leave the floor they may have everything but the kitchen sink attached to them. And while the original Bill may have been something that the politician may have really wanted to vote for, once all the pork had been piled on - how could they with a clear conscious? And oh yes, some still do have a clear conscious. I think..... So the next time that you hear a politician accuse another of voting against a logical Bill, ask questions and discover. Things aren't always as they appear. More Political Commentaries at Tickle Feather Look, Let's Be ClearThe two, most popular phrases used when politicians become cornered.
