I'm frelling astounded.

Look back over my postings, I'm not one that's given to Tinfoil'ery. Truth be told I generally just dip into these political discussions with a quick pithy quote (like the one that started this thread) and then duck back out.

It's fairly rare that I really get pissed of by the actions of politics but in this case I just cannot rationalize any other explanation for this resolution taking place NOW.

Yeah, the idea of the "back room deal" is perhaps Tinfoil at it's best but really I'm just expressing my frustration at what I see as an truly insane action on the part of our elected officials. Why? Why would they do this? I'm just grasping at straws hoping there is a logical explanation because I sure can't see it from here.
