41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    I try to never assume a congressman will vote their conscience on anything, ever.

    They might give it a shot in their first term, of course it all goes out the window when they suffer the consequences. Voters don't care, so this what we get. To bad everybody's still playing this republican/democrat bullshit.

    It's like highschool football in the middle of the country. You yell at the ref even when you just watched your neighbor's kid take his helmet off and smash someone in the knee with it. Tribalism at its most simplistic.
