This is why in the last few months, I have shifted my support and sympathies by and large to the Democrats. > [@Czarcasm](#): > > ## -If a bill is killed, the Congresscritters that killed it will be named Isn’t this available via voting records of Congressmen/women/critters/freaks/mutants? > [@WillFarnaby](#): > > **Qin Shi Huangdi** Since your platform would inevitably lead to perpetual warfare and/or the destruction of the human race through world war i cannot in good conscious approve of it.
