then do it in Wisconsin and tell me what happens. If there’s nothing improper about it.
Or, better yet, just try it as a bloc of US congresspeople.
…and with this post, I started seeing his name as Irrational_Rumor_Watkins.
You could find out. Is it trivial that the “will of the people” that your case depends upon is probably compromised?
try it as a US congressman. then discuss how it’s a viable option.
yes, because the democratic process in Wisconsin isn’t stopping at the conclusion of this legislative session.
Now I’m seeing Highly_Fixated_&_Irrational_Rumor_Watkins.
Nice try, Bre’r Rabbit. Just because the majority has the power to compel attendance does not make it improper to not attend. The rules say the majority can compel attendance, up to the jurisdictional authority of the state. The minority is under no obligation to respect that jurisdiction.
It is all politics; you are attempting to attach some morality which simply does not exist.
no, the morality attaching is going on by you, stating that the absentee D’s are actually furthering the cause of democracy by not showing up in the legislative body to which they were elected.
What does ‘furthering the cause of democracy’ have to do with morality?
I see, so its ok if the Republicans cripple their opponents horse, because to win the race he only has to run faster?
“Blocking legislation that a majority of your constituents oppose is a legitimate form of representation.”
sounds like a morality claim to me.
how does Walker’s law, if so obviously and completely against what the majority of Wisconsinites want, cripple the opponent’s horse? It doesn’t.
Or, would many Democrats not actually donate to their reps anymore since they were only indirectly funding them via unions? I’m kind of curious.
I swear, the petulance of some posters on this board are driving me to vote democrat. I mean, I already was planning to, but when the rivers are running red with blood and nazis are riding on dinosaurs, you’ll know it was your fault, Rumor.
Not to me.
but of course.
So we agree.
Fuck it. I’m moving to Argentina where my taxes for the next 30 years aren’t going to be spent servicing the debt for old fucks’ largesse or their medical bennies. Since none of you idiots want to do anything about it.
Night!
Luv ya, sweet cheeks!
I don’t really remember specifics, but seeing your name, I seem to recall that your opinions tend to be pretty conservative. So, this seems nothing more than a pig/grunt kind of scenario.
But you’re correct. Even though I don’t believe for a moment that you were “in,” don’t let the fucking door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Everyone - vote your fucking conscience and shut the fuck up.
true, I’m probably fucking Pol Pot relative to this board.
