> [@Fry](#): > > At least he voted for the jobs bill. :tup: A republican willing to say yes to a good idea at this point in American politics is OK in my book. My problem with the jobs bill was Reid had a larger jobs bill that had bipartisan support, which at the last minute he tore up and substituted the bill smaller bill he wrote with no input from Republicans. So yeah, I don’t have a problem with any Republican who votes against bullshit like that. ---

The Republicans were all set to hammer the larger bill as full of pork and waste. They were going to vote against it. His quote taken at the Democratic meeting where he annouced it was, “Grassley and three to four Republicans would have voted for it, but all the other Republicans would have beaten the living shit out of us [during the 2010 midterms], claiming the bill was too bloated.” You know they would have, too. ---

Just saw another headline on this. Too bad he can’t win. The people will never elect an older president when we’ve moved on to the next generation. It just doesn’t happen. Rand Paul would have a better shot. ---

They were promising groceries to poor people in Buffalo if they voted for Byron Brown, so I’m not sure, lol. He would only have a real chance if he won the Republican primary, and I think JayS is the only Republican here and the only one who can vote so you’d have bribe him first 🙂 ---

Well Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll by a landslide. Which statistically screws him. The last 7 winners didn’t even get the GOP nomination, much less the presidency. You have to go back to GW in 2000 to find a republican that won the GOP nomination. Prior to that I don’t recognize any presidential candidates since Reagan. 1976 Ronald Reagan[43][44] 1980 Ronald Reagan 1984 Ronald Reagan 1986 Jack Kemp[45][46] 1987 Jack Kemp[47] 1993 Jack Kemp[48] 1995 Phil Gramm[49] 1998 Steve Forbes[50] 1999 Gary Bauer [51] 2000 George W.

At least congress gave approval for Iraq. It will be interesting to see how far his bill to prevent the president from doing things “war-like” without the approval of congress goes… seeing as it’s already in the War Powers Act, lol. ---
