For me its unbelievable when this issue was before our legislative branch of government, referring to the temporarily controlling factions within the GOP; and why would the GOP “only” agree to a bipartisan stimulus bill if it was “one-half” authored by them. Are these folks ready for the fruit juice farm or what? Do they understand the meaning of the word “compromise?”
Isn’t this why, we in America we go through the trouble of having elections; to see who more or less, which “party” controls the mandates presented before our “elected” congress?

mmmmmm. I’m conflicted. I loooove brunner and think she would make a fantastic senator, but I also don’t want to risk SOS fall into the hands of the Rs or a D that would be less aggressive with protecting our voting rights.
