T-Rex said that it was not just to blacken Bush's eye but if Tauscher was voting against it there must be a good reason.

See Post 3857, on the previous thread: When Ty suggested that there was a reason, you said "Yes - Union Pressure and other special interests."
Later, you pointed out that Tauscher got a 61% score from the Cato Institute -- which you view as really unsatisfactory, but which I would say puts her pretty middle of the road, and definitely not pro-union. A 100% score from a libertarian group is not, in my view, a good thing. Nor is a 0%.

And if her reason was union pressure or sour grapes, like she is realy going to admit this on her web page.

Thank you for your insight in to the blindingly obvious.
I wasn't suggesting that she would admit being a union whore, a random Bush-basher, or even the alien mind-control thing. I was only suggesting that, perhaps, she might have identified some other concern with the bill that, perhaps, you hadn't considered or thought of.
I apologize -- I'm used to dealing with people who acknowledge the possibility that there are things they haven't considered (not on this Board, obviously) and who don't reject out-of-hand the notion that, perhaps, they should see what reason a legislator proffers for a vote before they decide, conclusively, what the legislator's reason was.
