9. Which Republican senator are you hoping that'll flip?

I know. I've been doing some bitching and screeching of my own.

I've always liked him, and he didn't disappoint. I liked the principles he spoke of, the "Roberts Five" pattern, the damning numbers he gave, and hopefully they'll be repeated, and repeated where more people hear them.

"The Roberts Five." "Where there's a big Republican interest ("the big funders and influencers" ) at stake, the Republican interest wins. Every. Damned. Time."

here are more politically attuned than I, more "experfienceds."

But ... 'americans' need to see what is happening..
Pretty naive of me, eh....

We're trying to get Nate McMurray elected in NY27th .. think Chris Collins --- Loooong shot... only way is to tell the TRUTH over and over and get it out there... 'yell it'... from the rooftops... on the streets.....

When his statemetn is transcribed, I'll copy it over and memorize some of his brutal points about the Roberts Five corruption.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

17. We are. I'm just a minor cog in the wheel, but the guy is good.

And one of the most intelligent, well-read 'politicians' I have ever known.

From, quoting Adams, to being a leading western expert on Korean culture and history, to Socrates, to climate change science, speaks at least 3 languages, of which I am aware, can connect with republicans (some, anyway, I hope a lot more), to being a brilliant essayist and humorist to , well, demolition derby.

Plus the guy smiles and laughs all the time.. really.. he does. It's not fake. My face gets tired when I'm anywhere near him ....

You know, you can make a donation at ACT BLUE, if you feel so inspired.

Even Bill Kristol said the Democratic Party should invest in a big TV buy for him.

14. According to Woodward he called Sessions the "r" word (retarded).
Tue Sep 4, 2018, 05:37 PM

I only include the word itself because it's so easily confused with the other "R" word (Republican).
