Sad Democrat

[Monahorns]

huisache, I wouldn't say every single time a Republican won. But there were Democrats saying Republicans cheated after both Bush II elections and the Trump election. So for the last 20 years that is a true statement.

I should have put a time frame on my statement. My apologies.

Don’t apologize. It’s a sign of weakness

Insert obligatory ironic "Sorry" joke <here>.

Anything in the bill that said it would restrict immigration would be ignored from the start.

Oh, he might half-assedly enforce it for the next few months to give the illusion that he wants the borde secured. But once the election is over, the enforcement would be over and never come back. Look at what the Adminstration is doing to any state that tries to help secure the border. It's suing them. That should tell you what their priority really is.

Maybe not a sad democrat, but definitely a bad one. I'm sure whoever replaces her will be just as bad.

It would be nice to see her tenure in Congress end - but I wouldn't wish that disease on anyone.

The pendulum in this country is swinging way to the right of sensible centerism.

Are you familiar with Newton's third law? For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Dems should be sad. You and your ilk continue to support the party and politics that made this sh*t sandwich. Bon appetit.

I despise SJL, but I wouldn't wish pancreatic cancer on my worst enemy. It's horrific.

It is supposedly an uncommon disease but I’ve known multiple people who died from it.

Yep, of course, she's portrayed in the best possible light in the headline. I contrast that with how they framed the death of James Inhofe.

They forgot.to.mention this.

 

[Mr. Deez]

She was a foul person.

 

[Horn6721]

Not to take away from the grief her family is feeling
BUT Damn if you are going to besmirch one Rep after he dies then it is fair to point out how she treated her own people.

No kidding. SJL gets this quote "Texas Democratic giant and Houston powerhouse". If she was a R, the quote would change from "Texas Republican giant and Houston powerhouse" to reminding readers of these:

She wasn't old in 1997! And

Happy to see Uncle Joe stepping aside. I'll not participate in the butt kissing. He should have seen the writing on the wall a year ago.

I don't think he was capable of seeing that. I think his handlers propped him up and used him until even they could see he couldn't make it through the campaign.
