[Multiple videos of Fetterman's gibberish at link.............]
“No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable.” So said Publius at the conclusion of Federalist No. 62. Publius’s intent was to praise the virtues of having a small, aristocratic Senate as part of the new United States Constitution.
Well, let’s all hope Publius is wrong, because that Senate is on the verge of losing its respectability forever. Because in just three short weeks, it may be welcoming John Fetterman to its ranks.

Greg Price @greg_price11 · Follow NBC: "Can voters trust that you will be ready to do this job?"
Fetterman: "Yeah, of course," after reading the question off a giant MacBook that he needs to understand what is being said to him.

Make way for John Fetterman!

Curtis Houck @CurtisHouck · Follow Fetterman sounds horrible. He's clearly not well and it's so bad that he makes Joe Biden sound like a Rhode Scholar.

The part-time mayor-turned-full time invalid is the narrow favorite to be Pennsylvania’s next United States senator.

Fetterman has mostly hidden from public view ever since last May’s primary, as staffers try to conceal the devastating effects of a stroke he suffered at that time. Fetterman finally gave his first full sit-down interview, and promptly revealed that he can’t, technically speaking, understand human speech.

Monica Crowley @MonicaCrowley · Follow Fetterman couldn’t even make it through a basic, friendly interview with MSNBC: couldn’t hear, couldn’t understand.
He’s unfit to serve in the Senate.

We could bully Fetterman all day. But that’s not the point of this article. A million different publications have harped on Fetterman’s flaws as a person, candidate, and politician. Instead, we would like to reflect on the meaning of Fetterman being a major political candidate at all. Specifically, John Fetterman is the perfect symbol and representative of “democracy” as it exists in 2022 America.
In 1787, the fledgling government of the United States was failing. In Philadelphia, the delegates of the Constitutional Convention gathered to debate and define the structure of a new, stronger national government to replace the faltering Articles of Confederation.
One of the major changes the convention agreed upon was splitting the unicameral Congress of the Confederation into a new bicameral Congress, with a large and more democratic House coupled with a smaller, less democratic Senate. James Madison, “Father of the Constitution,” took the floor to explain his vision of the Senate’s purpose:
A people deliberating in a temperate moment … on the plan of government most likely to secure their happiness, would first be aware, that those charged with the public happiness, might betray their trust. An obvious precaution against this danger would be to divide the trust between different bodies of men, who might watch & check each other. … Another reflection equally becoming a people on such an occasion, would be that they themselves, as well as a numerous body of Representatives, were liable to err also, from fickleness and passion. A necessary fence against this danger would be to select a portion of enlightened citizens, whose limited number, and firmness might seasonably interpose against impetuous councils. … How is the danger in all cases of interested coalitions to oppress the minority to be guarded against? Among other means by the establishment of a body in the government sufficiently respectable for its wisdom and virtue, to aid on such emergences, the preponderance of justice by throwing its weight into that scale.
Elsewhere in the constitutional debates, Madison argued that “the use of the Senate is to consist in its proceeding with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch.” By design, he said, the Senate would be “generally a more capable set of men.” During the same debates, John Dickinson argued that the Senate ought to “consist of the most distinguished characters, distinguished for their rank in life and their weight of property, and bearing as strong a likeness to the British House of Lords as possible.”
Well, that was 1789. Today, we have this:
Fetterman’s shortcomings far exceed the limitations caused by his failing health. Fetterman could have two whole functioning brain hemispheres and he’d still be a disturbing joke of a public figure. When asked what problem he would fix first if he had a magic wand, Fetterman’s thought’s immediately jumped to “get all the murderers out of prison”:
*********************************************
RNC Research @RNCResearch · Follow INSANE: Democrat John Fetterman says if he had a magic wand to “fix one thing,” he would end “life without parole” for MURDERERS.
Fetterman claims it would “not make anyone less safe.”
*************************************************
Those that vote for him share an equal part of the blame...
Technically speaking, it’s pretty hard to mock a mockery. The people at “The Bee” must have to work pretty hard to mock anything today. Every third headline I read I have to look to make certain it isn’t “The Bee.” (It used to be every tenth headline. We’re on the slippery slope to Hell.)
Let’s focus on his health and generate 10% in sympathy votes. We don’t want any one to evaluate his policies. Especially the montco soccer moms.

What’s one more clown in a circus?
He is an Alinsky Activist. Making a mockery of the USA is what they do, it is their directive. Anyone who has read Rules For Radicals would understand this and this article would be unnecessary.
Especially the montco soccer moms.

Those so-called soccer moms are now more concerned with how inflation is impacting their daily lives and routines.
Literally everyone I talk to is concerned with the rise in inflation and how it affects them.
I think it says more for the voting population that supports and is willing to vote for this thug and moron.
It’s hard for me to imagine anyone wanting THIS creature to represent their interests.
But poll numbers show he has LOTS of support in the state.
The senate is already a joke. As is all of Kongress. How is it possible to mock a standing joke?
There has never been nor will there ever be a successful effort for mere men to govern themselves. The sin nature inherited from Adam precludes it. Only God Almighty will rule without error or failure.
Yeah, but the US Senate makes a mockery of itself.
The writer speaks as if he thinks Fetterman is unique among demoncrats when in fact he is the archetype.
