There is always a risk with any election, but we need something other than violence to make changes when politicians go off the rails.
They will probably be reelected when the regular election takes place, Hipparchia, if they want to run. No one died in the change, and that has been becoming my bottom line for some time. The US is becoming a very volatile place, and I don’t want to have to start dodging bullets again.
]]>much like what just happened in colorado with the gun nuts recalling and replacing two state legislators who supported sane gun legislation.
]]>We have a bad parody of the ‘Gong Show’ for a government. We really need recall elections for Federal Congressional offices.
]]>my tax dollars went to pay for ted cruz to read dr seuss to a tv camera? a win, if you ask me, although it could turn out that if you play the tape backwards, it’ll be a message from the devil. or from the real ted cruz. still that’s 21 hours that he wasn’t making back room deals with alec or the koch bros.
]]>I really don’t think Ted Geisel would have approved of the use of his works in that way.
Cruz is allowed to carry a firearm, drive a car, and father children – which shows how permissive Texas is.
]]>Too funny! 😀
]]>There aren’t 41 Senators who want their names attached to shutting down the government, so he can’t pull a filibuster on this bill, which is what the Republicans in the Senate have explained to him.
The Republicans can’t gain control of the Senate because Senators are elected state-wide. You can’t redistrict a Senate seat, like you can a House seat. Senators up for re-election don’t want to play games that are going to piss off large segments of voters enough to go to the polls. 2014 should be a low turn out election and angry voters go to the polls in bigger numbers that the ‘true believers’.
I’m getting really tired of people telling me how smart this guy is supposed to be because he went to Princeton and Harvard. The Shrubbery went to Yale and Harvard, and we all agree he wasn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
]]>Jim Wright sez “in the South, they call what Ted Cruz just did ‘showing his ass’. Yes, that’s right. Ted Cruz just twerked for 21 hours.”
Need… brain… bleach…. :).
