I have to compliment the Democrats--at least they have balls

[Dave Grubb]

I'm not going to get into a philosophical debate as it relates to the current spending bills and debt ceiling---but I have to admire the Democrats---at least they aren't a bunch of follow the leader spineless sheeple.

There is a huge divide between my thinking and the progressives----but I admire their tenacity---and I admire the tenacity of the moderates and all the different factions in the Democratic tent. I can't help but compare their outspoken positions to the emasculated (that is an old sheep farmer's term for no balls) lambs on the republican side. As a matter of fact---it is pretty damn sad that one of the only republicans with big enough balls to publicly break with the trumper puppets happens to be a lady. I haven't always agreed with her politics but I sure as heck agree with her moral posture and courage. If you failed to see her on 60 min Sunday night----you owe it to yourself to spend 13 minutes and listen to that interview.

Speaker Pelosi might be a masterful cat herder (my Mother always counseled me that I could find at least one good thing in anyone---but then my Mother never met trump!)---but I admire the independence of those cats. We, as a nation, are the result of differing opinions, willingness to respect them and the courage to argue those beliefs. trump's avowed focus to destroy anyone not kowtowing to his sickness is counter too who we are and what we represent---and the spineless following should all hang their heads in shame.

This bunch of "willows in the wind" have stolen the Republican party---and I hope there will come a day when there are enough like me to take it back---it should not be that difficult---they are easy to identify, they all carry purses

My friend, if Republicans carry purses there's a good possibility there's a pistol in it. Democrats, eh.... not as likely.

And this morning comes this:

In the Senate, Republican Tom Cotton (R-AR) tried to amend the measure to stop aid for Afghan refugees who were evacuated to the United States. That amendment reflected the demands of former president Donald Trump, who insisted that Republicans should oppose the bill, calling it “a major immigration rewrite that allows Biden to bring anyone he wants from Afghanistan for the next year—no vetting, no screening, no security—and fly them to your community with free welfare and government-issued IDs.” Trump suggested they would bring “horrible assaults and sex crimes” that would be “just be the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming if this isn’t shut down.”
For all their talk of concern about taking care of our Afghan allies during the evacuation of Afghanistan, all 50 Republican senators voted for Cotton’s measure. Democrats killed it on a strict party line vote.

You might think they would be a bit more reluctant about dropping their pants in such a public way---they not only have no balls they have no morals

The Republican women I know carry big purses to conceal the cannons they carry...They can hurt you with their little backup guns too.....Ben

Republicans are a bunch of follow the leader spineless sheeple, but the Democrats killed it on a strict party line vote. I'd be more inclined to group our whole government into the spineless group. To bad Trump is in all those thoughts everything turns into a senseless rant when his name is mentioned. Don't think I could call him spineless though, a little wacko but there's a lot of that in Washington.

The republicans are sheep, the democrats are lemmings.

Democrats are so fortunate to have Trump otherwise if there was another viable Republican candidate they would be in the dust

[Blue74]

As I've told several Republican friends, not all Democrats come unarmed.

We should see how accurate that assessment is in the results of the next presidential election. I'm looking forward to it, as I'd like to know as well.

[Honda]

This Democratic administration is doing such a great job.

[UTAH]

Personally, I don't like the way both parties are handling things. As I've said before, might be time for a strong Independent to do a power play - yet I don't have a clue who that could be (there does not seem to be a Ross Perot on the sideline).

Hunter

[Mike]

I like neither party. Glad Ross Perot is not available. He would have been worse than either. We have to stop electing the entitled rich.

[UTAH]

Yes, Mike. I agree with your stance. I was simply coming up with an example of an outsider entering the race.
