Leaving rehab to vote away our liberty. There’s some powerful symbolism there.

if you have to go to rehab, you are not qualified to making decisions for the entire country.

Not to worry, I’m sure he’s fully versed and up to speed on the legislation and all its details, and will make a carefully considered, informed vote.

Before he gets there, maybe the Republicans can slip a line into the bill about Pat having to stay in rehab for the next twenty years.

“Well, that might be good. If he drives his car into a river, he might not be able to vote.”

..doesn’t matter..if you’re a Democrat you can still vote even if you’re dead.

America in the 21st century. It is time for a national intervention but there are too few rational adults around to pull it off just now.

I mean really!

HOW can his vote be counted as legitimate?!? The man is IN REHAB for goodness sakes; couldn’t we at least give him a sobriety test before he votes?!?

I fully realize once a person comes OUT of rehab they can lead full, productive lives, but he is IN rehab! I think the distinction is important!

It will probably be before. I wonder how long his furlough will last and why is he still in congress?

Drat! Give old Patrick 10 minutes alone out of Rehab and he’ll be higher than a Kite flying on his own Iranian Magic carpet smoking his Bong! I figure by the time he gets to the Capital Building, they will have to carry him in on a stretcher and try to get him to sign an X on his spot with a BAL of at least .39999! Prayers are with Patrick for he is a really sick human being:-)

We keep hearing about the Democrats “rallying the troops” for it. How about the Republicans rallying the troops to vote against this thing? Or have they just decided to sit on their butts and passively wait it out?

I whole heartedly agree. One, who is under treatment for substance abuse should not be allowed to vote on anything which will impact on worthy Americans.

The kennedys, classless, useless, unworthy and despicable people from the womb to the tomb.

NSNR
