(32,723 posts)49. Amtrak has been a great indicator of Republicans not caring if the public suffers....
Look at the Los Angeles > Vegas run.
Republicans shut it down and talk of having high speed rail in this busy corridor is met with the following talking point: "Demoncrats are so EVIL they want to pervert America's wholesome Disneyland by building a high speed rail line to tempt the carnal nature of men to go run off to Vegas for gambling and prostitutes."
Never mind that prostitutes work under the neon and flashing lights all around Disneyland...
The locals called it "Ball Road" for a REASON.
Oh, and never mind the trip is a 45 minute flight out of John Wayne. We have to stop the RAIL service in the name of Jesus.
