  1. I'm sorry Adam but the republican party has been constitutionally awash for 40 years. Mitch McConnell has been the president of the Senate since the 90s, and that was the turning point of democracy in America. His lopsided desire for ultimate control is not what our forefathers wanted for the country. And he's forced the laws to go one sided since he's been leader. If that doesn't change there may be a true uprising in America that is not Republicans vs Democrats, but the people against the government as a whole. People won't be chanting kill pence or Biden or any particular party. Just, we're damn sick of the bullshit. You people talk a good game, always at election time. But the moment your in that cushy 200 thou a year job, its how can we appease the 2% and make sure they are happy. And trickle down happens all over. Look at it this way. How would it be if everyone in the US doesn't pay their taxes. State or government. Of course by that time, everyone has paid in weekly, biweekly or quarterly. So maybe that won't work. Anyway, I know if all of us working stiffs out pool our resources, maybe you'll do something about unfair taxes, unfair wages, just all around unfairness to the 85% of us who make less than 80 thou a year.

  2. Come on Adam. McConnell is one of the most authoritarian leaders of the Senate ever. You seem like a very intelligent middle of the road minded person, but even as a middle of the road Democrat, I could see McConnell s, smoldering against anything democratic. His constant attacks on Obama and his terms, showed me he's not a group player, unless he's in charge.
