I don't understand how to make people understand that their votes matter either cast for a candidate on either side.... or sitting on the sideline as a non-vote.

IT MATTERS. If you can't see that from this example that's borderline unbelievable to me.

They need every vote and Alabama of all places has a DEMOCRAT POS SENATOR sitting up there that won't vote how he dam well knows the people of the State of Alabama expect him to vote on this. He already knows he isn't getting re-elected so he's voting with Chuck.


If you think Doug sitting up there "doesn't make a difference" you could not be more WRONG.

Im sure the majority of the Dem senators would enjoy that, especially Booker.

The BIG difference is that today:

Trump decides which department are "Essential", not Big Ears.

Maybe we don't need the Feds to keep jacking up interest rates.

Looks like McConnell is saying no now. Those damn republicans up there are spineless

On the contrary. They don't care a bit what the president or average citizen thinks. They are brazen and defiant. Some people assume because a politician is Republican and won't get behind conservative causes that they must be spineless. They aren't. They are ruthless in their pursuit of power and globalization. They are on the same side as the Democrats in that they are only concerned with their own power. "But they are better than the alternative!" The battle cry of the new revolutionaries.

He just said no to using the nuclear option. He is planning on leaving a government shutdown squarely on the Democrats.

Okay and then we can ask everyone that voted for him in the primaries to fess up as well so america can thank them as well

the state of Alabama fell for a ruse to screw Moore set up by the business council crew and carried out by the Dems.....

Again, Moore screwed Moore. Hillary was the only candidate in my lifetime that was worst.

Don't leave out Richard Shelby who drove the final nail in Moore's coffin to assure the Democrats a win.

I wouldn't vote for Roy Moore for any reason, ever. The dude was/is a total clown and in no way represents anything that I espouse. Instead of blaming people like me, you need to blame the Republican primary voters who handed us that asshat to vote for. He was the worst candidate I've ever seen besides Hillary Clinton.

I voted for Moore and would vote for him every time he runs if there was Democrat on the ticket across from him. One thing for sure he would have voted to support Trump’s agenda, but you folks just keep trying to justify putting a liberal Democrat in the Senate at a time when our Nation needs anything but another liberal Democrat in any government office.

I haven’t checked yet, but did you catch Wiley’s post last night about you? I can’t remember what thread it was, which is why I haven’t checked it yet. Is what he said true? Are you a liberal like Big Jack? I read some other posts of yours and it kind of made me wonder??
