These 3 Stoodge could of done this behind close doors. This is nothing but a cheap PR stunt. Are they really this stupid? Are they really these 3 really this desperate to be the Minority?

Are they really these 3 really this desperate to be the Minority?

I've speculated a theory called the Law of Political Parity it goes like this:
When one party gets too many seats in the Senate they have to blow it, otherwise they'd have to make good on their campaign promises, which they don't really want to do. This law applied to both parties equally.

They are hoping that Conservatives get demoralized and stay home.

Then these jerks would have more power in the Minority.

Wrong.

Not voting is Un-American. And to believe that Conservatives will not vote proves that these jerks are not Conservatives.

Conservatives will vote in large numbers in 2006 and crush any hopes for these asses.
