Bucco, you either read too fast or you don't comprehend all the words you do read. Let me reference something I said in the original post that you apparently didn't understand...

I'm sure there are probably some Democratic congressmen who are "piling on" this bill, as well.

Then I quoted Tom Friedman's criticism of the entire elected government and said I agreed. You however, following your speed reading approach, somehow interpreted these clear words as a partisan message opposing your political views.

Next time I'll try to make my messages simpler and more to the point with fewer big words and long sentences. All I'd ask of you is to read slower and see if you can understand without trying to apply your own political spin. Better yet, when you see my posts, why not just avoid reading them. They seem to upset you too much. I'll do the same for you.
