2. They just don't give it up...

they just keep on until they wear you down. Voters say "No!"? Voters are stupid! We'll just have to "explain" it to them in a more simple way, of course... and keep on dumbing it down for them until they give us the answer we want.

I love that phrase "... if this passes, we hope that we don't have to use it..." While we voted it down because we could see all the reasons they would WANT to use it. And THAT's why we didn't want to give them that power! We saw the end run around the abortion rights issue, among other rights too many to list. And still, we don't even have medical MJ, even while those of us who are chronic pain patients are made to jump through even more egregious hoops to get our legal meds to make it through each day. Yet they want more power over us?

I for one, will never vote to give it to them. Not one law about me, without me. This may be a red damn state. But on some things, my democratic voice will be heard, by dog!
