(4,458 posts)We should examine his Whole record...
If memory serves:
He gave us Drones in OR-
He hooked up with Paul Ryan to "voucher Medicare"
I recall he also voted to reauthorize PatAct/voted for the crazy sequester, didn't raise a Finger to Object to refunding sequester cuts to the FAA as they All ignored Horrific cuts to Meals on Wheels, Head Start, Cancer Treatments etc..It was a Unanimous Consent vote which all Any one of 100 Sens had to do was Object to bring this to a debate and not One US Senator defended the poorest of the poor! FAA funding restoration was a Vote for Personal Benefit. If you believe Bi-Partisanship is dead in DC? Think again! If you recall that was passed out of Both houses with a swiftness-so fast that IF you weren't watching it happen? You'd have missed it--just a quick little blurb for a day or so on MSM
Then, around that same time---remember the STOCK ACT? Well, there you have Another example of Self Serving-For basically all 535 of 'em said "What We Do Here-For Personal Gain-Is none of Your F'ng Business"....Another Bi-Partisan-Fast Vote by Unanimous Consent in the Sen...and a "faster than the speed of light" vote in the house..
Vet often. Vet Carefully. Challenge their votes. Forget Which Party They Register With and remember--if they don't vote For You? They're voting for Wall Street. Get them Out of Office.
So many times and in the face of electoral Objection--they made some really bad decisions - Capitulation, over and over and over and over again-did NOT bring comity, did NOT produce Bi-Partisanship, Reid made so many "filibuster deals" with McConnell--who Reneged Every G'Damned time--and Reid would NOT ever hold their feet to the fire--nope, he'd make yet Another "gentleman's agreement" with McConnell and we, the people were Dragged down Again. If you believe that the GOP/Wall Street didn't make gains Without the Help of Corporate Dems? Think again. Look at How Well Wall Street, Kochs/Corps etc are doing with Bi-Partisan help from SCOTUS/POTUS/House/Senate VS the rest of us. More people who Used to be part of the Middle Class are now amongst the Poor/Working Poor...
Wall Street/Corporate Criminals are Still Free because those we elect to serve the Country-Are Not. They, in Fact are Part Of The Fkg Problem. All Political/Legislative Benefits/Consideration are made For the Wealthy. Connect the Dots.
