And let’s say that by some miracle we get a whole new set of lice as a result of this election. Would they be any different? The overwhelming evidence is that they would not be.

We no longer have a government. What we have is a mass suicide pact.

You might recite the speech while you wait for yourself and your family to be immolated.

I think what I will do with the speech is write down on a piece of paper and hold it over our heads for protection and recite the Lord’s Prayer instead.

I think we are in for very dark times, RKBAD.

We all knew the GOP wasn't going to do anything to stop the deal. The games have been played way too often. The GOPe needs to be destroyed and we need to start by electing Trump, or NOTHING will change.

Yup. Every. Single. One. The vote was 99-1. The one was Tom Cotton.

Soooo. I guess we can now go back to talking about why elections matter? And why it’s important to vote?

Spit.

>>SENATORS UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN 2016<<

Vote them out? You mean, use this electoral process to vote them out?

Thanx for the belly laugh.

"Are you saying even Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, and Mike Lee voted for the Corker bill? "

Yes each of them did.

Wiki it.

“I think we are in for very dark times, RKBAD.”

I’d say having our cities burnt to a crisp meets my definition of “very dark times. “

These stupid, treasonous bastards may well have signed our death certificates.

A pertinent question is: How much can, say, Trump accomplish, if the establishment controls Congress, and actually opposes him, as compared to this non-opposition to Obama that we see now?

Trump has the ability to talk over the media and rally We The People. That gives us a better opportunity to put pressure on our critters and get them doing what we elected them to do.

Why?

Seriously.

How can they defend such blatant...I don’t want to say treason, but it’s hard not to!

And let me also say, how did I miss this? Was this discussed here when they debated the Corker bill? Did we not know what it really meant?

McConnell has the power to go nuclear on legislation and threatened to do so when Reid went all in on nominations.

Of course McConnell was LYING.

This is not business.

It’s personal.

McConnell,Boner, Prince retard, and the entire RNC are on borrowed time.
