I look at it as a kind of 'hold-over' from the inception of that crap in the 90's.

We're supposed to eat it and thank the cloud beings that the country doesn't have Slade Gorton anymore.

I look to the primaries too.

Murray was supposed to attend the WA labor convention during the NAFTA debate time but sent a tape instead... then supported NAFTA.

We all know how THAT turned out.
