While I agree in principal Bill, pointing a finger and calling someone a baby does not raise the level of conversation much. 

There are zealots on both sides. People who care about nothing more that getting their agenda moved forward. It is far from a maturity issue. It goes deep into the struggle that is taking place in this nation. One side seems to want government to rule in a way that is fair and compassionate (to their way of thinking) The other seems to want to run their own lives to the greatest extent possible. Both sides see the other as the enemy. 

I am mostly in the second camp. But, this is pretty small potatoes as political corruption goes. And comparing it to some of the things others have do to support that claim is just that. Add that to the possibility that it was nothing but an over site and you come up with eyes being rolled at what seems to be serious over reaction.
