9. Shame on them, though, for being so damn gullible and naive!!!

This is just further proof that OUR team has no idea who they're really dealing with. NO idea. I've heard angles expressed in the coverage about this - wherein this was a problem the Dems let slip by because nobody noticed the abortion language buried in the bill. NOBODY caught it beforehand and nipped it in the bud. NOBODY NOTICED. Which means - either NOBODY BOTHERED to read the damn thing all the way through, or carefully enough. OR that the Dems just assumed everything was straightforward and on the up-'n'-up. GULLIBLE AND NAIVE. They assume, wrongly, that these fiends on the other side of the aisle are A) still their friends, B) willing to work together, C) guileless, NOT agenda-driven, not into stealth tactics, and definitely not sneaky. In other words, NOBODY EVEN HAD THEIR RADAR UP. It obviously never even occurred to anybody on OUR side that this might happen. Nobody was even the tiniest bit suspicious, evidently.

AND THAT'S JUST ONE GIGANTIC AND COLOSSALLY STUPID MISTAKE!!!!!!!!

AND WHY THE FUCK DON'T OUR PEOPLE GET WITH THAT PROGRAM???? Where are OUR stealth fighters? Where are OUR schemers and sneaky-ass strategists who will try this in the furtherance of OUR agenda???? WHY DON'T WE RESPOND ACCORDINGLY WITH OUR LEGISLATION?????

Our side better start going through EVERY GOP-authored or sponsored bill with tweezers, microscopes, fine-tooth combs, X-rays and even maybe some MRI machines - to make DAMN SURE they don't get rolled again - the way they almost did this time. Negligence is NOT AN OPTION!!!!!!

We don't have anybody in power who's thinking deviously, do we? WE NEED SOME. That's the only way we're gonna stay ahead of these assholes. They have entire ARMIES of devious thinkers working for them. Do we have ANYBODY?????????
