52 Democrats voted to continue the Federal death grip on America.
Try it again every 3 months, Senator Cruz. Try it again, and again and again.
I wonder at the value sometimes of these symbolic votes that every knows will go nowhere.
The benefits are they get everyone on record. They give the good guys a chance to speak and sometimes get accurately reported. They occupy liberals for a bit of time so that for those periods of time they aren’t able to perform mischief.
But, is it worth it, given that it’s wasting time?
I guess I’d prefer our best conservative minds be occupied in strategizing how to take over one of the major broadcast networks or to launch an affiliate.
It’s a shame to waste them doing this stuff. You almost wish you could elect the best, but then allow them to appoint a placeholder while they went around doing important stuff.
