Ashley Banfield grills some giggling rethugs about whether they are willing to give up _their salaries during a shutdown:
So how funny do YOU find these smirking cretins?
How do the people in these districts keep electing goofs like this, is that the best their district has to offer? I say no, we as Americans are better than that. Good job Ashley by holding their feet to the fire. They will go back to their districts and lie about everything and know will question them, absolutely disgusting.

(445 posts)and the bubble insulates them from reality. Fox news tells them what they want to hear. And any information that does not complete their thin world view is ignored or dismissed as liberal spin.
They insulate themselves from anything not conservative.
Progressive legislatures should put the word "conservative" in front of every one of their bills.
The Conservative Health-care Act.
Conservative = Good.
Liberal = Bad

(25,111 posts)I've tried listening to GOPers being interviewed on tv and the journalist (I use that lightly) who do ask pertinent questions are always YELLED down by the gopers. They talk over people and never answer the questions and of course as always blame the Dems and Pres O. Never fails with them.

(41,867 posts)They will keep saying them over and over, as if you are either deaf or don't understand what they said, and say it as though it were not just an idea, but a fact. IF FOX NEWS were to say, the SKY is green today, you could not convince Tea Party people otherwise. Infact, they probably would not even bother to get up and look outside.

You answer the question that you think should have been asked. The Romney camped worked it to death. The pubs picked right up where Romney left off.
Take three minutes and watch this clip, you'll see.

(1,269 posts)Yeah, that's it. Conservatives: lyin' for the lord for 2,000 years.
Palin must've been schooled in it - she had that 'answer what you think should have been asked' thing down pat.

(51,745 posts)Today I emailed and called (at both his DC and local office) my idiot Republican House Representative, Dana Rohrabacher. I told him that the ACA will save 45,000 American lives each year and he needs to stop trying to defund it. I told him to pass the budget and the debt ceiling increase without any conditions.
I know he won't listen to me, but my calls and emails get tallied, and if we all did this, it would be very clear the Republicans don't speak for their constituents. They won't be able to argue they speak for the American people.
I will never forget when Senator Heidi Heitkamp defended voting against the Senate gun background check bill, that 90% of Americans support, by pointing out that the calls to her office were "at least 7 to 1 against the bill."

SunSeeker
(51,745 posts)This is not breaking news. As to why they are Republican, I believe it is the standard "I got mine" attititude coupled with general greed and lack of empathy. Why do you think it is?
young_at_heart
(3,772 posts)Poor people are typically Democrats and minorities are usually Democrats. When I think of one of the worst of notable Republicans and all that this label stands for I think of Donald Trump with his immeasurable arrogance. He could care less that there are people suffering because they don't have a job or health insurance. His demeanor and actions show this with every word he utters. How many more think like him?

He's getting his taxpayer funded salary and healthcare and laughs at other Americans that are going to take a hit.
We have over 10 years of combat hardened Vets, some are going to pay the price for this crap.
I know a lot of those Vets would be happy to blow that smirk off his face!
