If you think Warren is a centrist, that just shows me how far left you are.

And that statement right there tells me just how far right you are.

Warren is a former Republican. An expert in bankruptcy law who recognizes that a few changes need to be made or we are headed for trouble.

That's the radical left in your eyes, a former Republican. You seem to insist that no Democrat is allowed to make any changes, raise any taxes, or impose any regulations as that would be a radical leftist agenda. When Republicans propose something...anything...that might actually help all Americans rather than a favored few I think you'd see Democrats jump right on board with it.

Perhaps you'd like to compose a list of Republican proposals that do just that. It should be easy.

Now take a look at Democratic proposals and legislation...pretty radical Sh*t, right? Or too radical for a rightwinger like yourself to support.
Democratic bills passed in the house but DOA as Grim Reaper McConnell strikes them down

You may consider me far right, that's fine. I've been branded both at different times. Harry Reid tabled over 300 Republican House passed bills between 2011-2016 while he was majority leader during Obama. The fact McConnell is doing the same I think proves my point about automatic opposition.

When Reid was doing that most democrats thought it was great, now that McConnell is doing the same thing, most democrats think it is bad and undemocratic. I personally think all House passed bills should come up for debate and a vote on the senate floor. The senate could easily do this if they expanded their 3 day work week into five. Friday is fly away day and Monday is fly back into Washington day.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
