Originally posted by Sparko View PostI think a lot of Republicans are ticked off at their representatives and senators for all this stalling. Especially with the healthcare bill which they acted like they all had worked out years ago and when it came time to do something, they flopped.
I want Republicans in congress, but I want DIFFERENT Republicans in congress. Oh how I wish for term limits. Get rid of the old has-beens. On both sides. They are so entrenched in their views that nothing ever gets done. Ever.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThat looks to be comparing generic Republicans with generic Democrats. My point is that prior to Trump's tax cuts, incumbent Republicans did poorly when matched against generic Democrats; now they're slightly favored. But all this theorizing is largely pointless. The only thing that will matter is how incumbent Republicans fare against actual Democrat opponents.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
