and their petty bullshit when they're hired/voted in to work for the people not for their own personal preservation as they are doing today. If people would quit voting with their heart and start voting using their head there wouldn't be a 'CON to be found anywhere between here and Washington DC. How people who vote for them can't see that they're being used is beyond me. some otherwise intelligent people like some that we all know is smarter than to vote for a republiCON but yet there they are. God, Guns, Gays and Abortions is all they have going for them (republiCONs) and the sad part is our country is going to shit in a hand basket because of them and the stupid votes they CON otherwise sane people out of by way of the three G's and the A.
If you take a vote of the people on these four issues there would be no doubt where the majority of the people in this country stands on all four of these issues yet the 'CONs continue to beat the non thinkers over the head and convince them to vote for them over these four issues. low info Issue voters is what I call them.
The majority of the people want to keep God and Government separate, The majority of the people want to put some sensible restrictions on Guns, the Majority of the people realize that Gays are born not made so therefore should not be discriminated against. The majority of the people believe that an Abortion should be between a woman and her doctor. Majority of the people in America want and know these like I've said here yet a few who makes sure they, (low info issue voters) get out and vote and they sway the outcome to where they keep these issues front and center.
Poll after poll year after year has shown that what I'm saying here is the truth and nothing but the truth so help me...
I'll stand with this President until the very end and I'm more proud of the three votes I've cast for him as all the rest I've cast in all my voting history (66 YO.) I'll be voting for a woman when we get a chance as well as a Hispanic, in fact I hope one of the Castro brothers/twins, Julian or Joaquin runs for the Presidency before I die so I can vote for him. I'd love to see Momma Rosa, as their mother is so affectionately known as as our First Mother. If you don't know about the Castro brothers and Momma Rosa you need to do some research on them and get educated about the true reasons our country is or was so great because its for people like them that makes it so. They're no different than you and your family or me and my family, they immigrated here a long time ago and are making a difference for the good of everyone else.
Anything but hate and I'm all for it. dm
Anyways off my soap box for now.
No one wants to take anyones guns, no one wants to force anyone to be gay, no one want to force anyone to be religious, and no one wants anyone to have to have an abortion, no one is trying to force any of these on anyone else yet the 'CONs use these issues to win elections with. Sad state of affairs we have.

MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL. And we Americans are stupid enough to deliberately make such a Democracy destructive choice as this!

IMO truly destructive. The few democrats that's willing to speak out
would be demolished politically. Case in point. The Kentucky senate race.
