Hokie, where in the constitution does the Federal Government have jurisdiction over any law regarding Abortion? Please don't be lazy and say: the federal government makes laws and rules without explicit jurisdiction all the time.hokiewolf said:let's take abortion for an example. I'm not for it except in certain rare conditions. A sound legislator would work on legislation that doesn't appease just their base, they would work to get to the halfway point. This all or nothing stuff, all it does is continue the issue for the purposes of fund raising. Do your job and solve the damn issue that 75% of America would most likely live withcaryking said:Just not a sound argument! The constitution provides for certain powers at the Federal Government; so, what should be acceptable for a House member, regardless of how extreme they are?hokiewolf said:that's kind of my point, the districts have been so distorted that all you're getting now is extreme right and left, and you're not getting real worked on legislation that is soundcowboypack02 said:hokiewolf said:there's nothing in his record aside from one bill that he has brought forth that would actually benefit his district. Everything else is just for showcowboypack02 said:hokiewolf said:if you think grifting your base for campaign money is your job as an elected official then you are anti-American. Look at the actions, not the rhetoric. Too many look at the rhetoric and think that's just good enough.cowboypack02 said:Actually....lets go a little bit further on this if you both don't mind. Hokie and Cary - You've both put up your notes above....why?caryking said:So did I...hokiewolf said:BBW12OG said:LOL...NO you didn't.hokiewolf said:I did answer your questionBBW12OG said:NO..it absolutely is the point. You once again try and make a point by associating the Anti-American left with a few extreme right congressmen from the GOP. Once you are called out for your shortcomings you deflect and refuse to answer the question.hokiewolf said:that's not the point and you know it BBW. You are not responding to the point I'm trying to convey but rather just changing the subject because you don't care about why the quality of congressional candidates continues to deteriorate from both parties. You only care about owning the libs rather than congress doing their job and producing quality legislation.BBW12OG said:LOL... you named some very interesting individuals....hokiewolf said:two wrongs don't make a right. And it's the number one reason why we are where we are with Congress and we get nutcases like AOC, Omar, Bush, Presley, Tlaib, Bowman, Greene, Gaetz, Gosar, Cawthorn, etc.caryking said:hokiewolf said:A lot of democrats are safe in 2022 because of gerry mandering of congressional districts from both parties in the last few years.ncsualum05 said:
Is any democrat safe in 2022? Outside of Manhattan and San Francisco I mean. When will people learn anyway? My entire life democrats in power has led to a complete ****show. Clinton being the exception through some of his time... with a GOP controlled congress mind you.
If one party undoes another party's districts, is that considered Gerry mandering?
Now list the names from those you posted who are Anti-American..... and list what party they are from.
I'll hang up and listen.
But to answer your question, if you are elected to do a job and you choose instead to focus on self promotion of your name to fill your coffers over representing the interests of your district then I consider all of them anti American.
Typical.Once again when you are put on the spot you fail miserably.Quote:

Ok
AOC - D - Anti-American
Omar - D - Anti-American
Bush - D - Don't know
Presley - D - Don't know
Tlaib - D - Anti-American
Bowman - D - Don't know
Greene - R - Pro-American
Gaetz -R - Pro-American
Gosar - R - Pro-American
Cawthorn - R - TBD
I answered it! Yay
Lets take Gaetz for instance. Hokie - What makes you think that he is anti-american and why do you think he is pro-american Cary?
That's actually a really fair point.
Aside from grifting to his base, which is what all politicians do, how do you feel about the bills that he has sponsored in regards to doing his duty as a congressman?
Not that I don't disagree with you but isn't that what all politicians do?
