Yes. Evidently labor Democrats are easily persuaded by pretty words 
spoken to a labor audience. They get out their checkbooks, set up 
their phonebanks, and don't seem to notice when actual policymaking 
pokes them in the eye.

Didn't Bill Clinton make his promise to allow same-sexers into the 
military before an audience of rich G/Ls? They got out their 
checkbooks and ended up with a stupid policy and more actual 
expulsions than before. I detect a pattern.
