:said by TKJunkMail :And now they are doing what politicians also do - building Senate and public support for the decision they have already reached.
Through misinformation and FUD. Stevens knows that a number of Democrats are adamant about keeping his bill from passing before the end of the year and the 109th Congress comes to a close.
So he's using every tactic in the book to get the 60 votes he needs to defeat a filibuster. Even if some are dishonest like these survey results.
And this comes as a surprise? That is what politicians do. They do anything that is LEGAL (and sometimes what is barely legal) to win. Politics isn't a game for the squeamish and ethics has very little to do with it. It has always been such, back to the days of the Ancient Romans and Greeks.
