can demonstrate that they have learned from past mistakes.

For example, if a Senator voted, say, to authorize George W. Bush to invade Iraq, as much as I dislike that vote, I'd be willing to consider this: "I made a terrible mistake. Though I realized President Bush was a goof, I believed that VP Cheney was intelligent enough, that I wrongly trusted him to be honest about threats to our nation."

With fracking, one would have to believe that Cheney and his ilk could be trusted. That it really doesn't pose an environmental health risk. And that VP Cheney worked to exempt fracking from the Clean Water Act and other important environmental safe guards for the public's good. Now, that would require the person to be brain-dead, would it not?
