All I can say is, there are many Idiots in the world...I believe many politicians to be among them. The worst part is I would be willing to bet that it was a staff member that told him to ask that question, because we know that most politicians do not think for themselves. They have teams that read the bills for them and tell them how to vote. I.E. ("We have to pass the bill before we can see what's in it" - Nancy Pelosi)
