EvilMonkey Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 05:10 PM) http://jaybookman.blog.myajc.com/2017/06/1...-to-handel-gop/ Argument that Handel winning GA-6 would actually be a loss for GOP in terms of avoiding desperately needed changes. The race means nothing. it isn't a referendum on Trump or Democrats. The people down there are probably sick to death of seeing all the ads and campaigning, especially from people outside the district (like pajama boy himself!) and state. I would guess turnout will be low as people will have tuned out and just want it over, but we'll see. i find it funny the writer is now complaining about "On the other hand, though, this notion that the biggest threat to the voters of the 6th District are their fellow Americans helps to explain a lot of what is wrong with this country at the moment" At this moment? That is what Democrats have been preaching for the last 9 years. Guess it is only a problem when it is used against them. Seriously, how is he allowed to run without living in the district?

Social media and the hate it spews politically has just added to the collapse of America. Democrats and Republicans have always been at odds, but now it is WAR. Thanks to twitter, everything is a W/L situation. The Republicans are out to win every battle; the Democrats are out to win every battle. The Republicans gave us Donnie "the disaster" Trump. Mr Tweetmeister. The Democrats gave us LOL unelectable Hillary as their nominee, when they could have begged Mr. Biden to run (I realize he was still mourning the death of a family member). If not Biden, Bernie. No matter what you all think, both parties are HORRIBLE and should be ashamed of themselves. I am appalled at this Chris Christie story of him going to the beach today when the beach has been shut down because of budget woes!! How one-percent elitist of him. Very sick and sad (unless it's a fake news photoshop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Is it any wonder that Illinois is where it is? https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-math-in-one-tweet/ This truth came to light yet again after state lawmakers voted to pass a 32 percent income tax hike on taxpayers. Numerous lawmakers defended their position, including state Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, D-Hillside. Welch took to Twitter July 3 to proclaim that raising the income tax to 4.95 percent from 3.75 percent was merely a 1.2 percent increase, not a 32 percent increase as Gov. Bruce Rauner said.

Hard to imagine gutting healthcare with McCain ending up the poster child for the consequence/s to real people of that actually happening...since Congress conveniently exempted themselves.
