Democrats are more and more showing their stripes as agents of Satan. Do they not want to represent the interests of the people who voted them in?

Why such immature and childish behavior?

Could it be that their constituents are primarily Muslim and other anti-semites, and they are afraid that they will be voted out?

Then offer them an alternative, a resolution to support ISIS, maybe they’ll vote then.

This is a golden opportunity for Republican controlled state houses across the US. Every one of them should have a pro-Israel resolution for Democrats to boycott.

It costs the Republicans nothing, and will cost the Democrats plenty.

If the Republicans had locked them out, I would have been impressed. BUT...the GOP is SPINELESS COWARDS, even on the state level. Piss on ‘em: every rotten worthless one.

I thought I couldn’t be more embarrassed as a Virginian than when our state elected Clinton’s bag man, McAwful as Guv.

I was wrong

Its stuff like this that really makes the term “Demonrats” seem appropriate.

I began telling people during the Clinton years that the Democratic Party was beginning to turn on Israel. Most said I was nuts. But the rot has been ongoing, and the balance is close to tipping.

In Obama’s America it’s become fashionable to support every Middle Eastern despot, tyrant and maniac rather then our only loyal ally in the region.

Foreign policy is standing on its head.

This can be a very good thing for future elections.

Back in 2012, the Democrats of the Indiana House ran away to Illinois in an attempt to shut down the legislature.
The legislature was voting on RTW.

At that time the legislature was R60 D40
After the next election:
R71 D29

What in Hell is the Virginia legislature doing wasting there time and my tax money on legislation to vote on supporting Israel. The State of Israel will survive whether the Virginia legislature supports them or not. This is idle political grandstanding that is of no benefit to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia nor for that fact to the State of Israel.
