Or maybe they lost their job and couldn't afford the gas to get there.

I was on my own and paying my own way at 22 with an education and a career, and had a wife that was doing the same. Now at 31, while neither of us are in a high paying career field, we have a beautifu

The republicans should be the bigger people. They should show him how to compromise.

Sorry, Big Girl but when the public elects someone to the highest office in the world, the assumption is that an ability/willingness to compromise already exists.  Its part of a quality called leadership, a foreign term to some.  Furthermore, since he is allegedly "the smartest man in the world",  showing others how to compromise should have been a piece of cake for him.  The Greek Pillars in Denver are gone.  So is the swooning and adulation.  And a pleasing personality will no longer sustain the President nor will comments like " I would like to have a beer with him".  The public wants results and there simply havent been many.   There are over 300 bills, passed by the House of Representatives (obviously by both parties) that have gone no further than the desk of Harry Reid.  Some of those bills could have been passed and some progress could have been made.   Therefore, permit me to suggest to you that you can no longer blame Bush or the rest of the Republicans and get by with it.

Yes, veto, veto, veto against the wishes of the majority as represented by this country.  It will cement his position below Jimmy Carter in the annals of history.

Steve, like I've said before -- the only one really glad that obama is President is Jimma Carter.   He knows now that he won't be the worst President ever!

If they are not willing to compromise then veto, veto, veto.


the majority of the house and senate, as elected by the country, is now republican. so the majority in the house and senate, as elected by the majority of the country, should compromise with the lame duck president? this makes no sense. I'm not a conservative either. anybody who reads this site will tell you that.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: The two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you too.

 

When the president himself is in denial and does not except or respect the peoples vote, why would anyone expect his most loyal supporters to. 

 

Whereas, Obama may be correct, the voter turnout was low (as it usually is in mid terms) it can hardly be determined that all those who did not vote would support his agenda. In fact it may very well mean, the turnout was at least somewhat lower due to some that supported him before, no longer do, and simply chose not to participate.

 

The best I can figure, Obama thinks that sense he won back to back elections that the majority of the "citizens" do still support his policies, and whether they voted or not he will continue his agenda on their behalf, as ridiculous as that may seem to some of us.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.

      The game will be live streamed for those that have Game Changer under the Chester team thread.  I believe the radio station out of Palestine will have radio broadcast.
