What has been seen, can not be unseen, unfortunately.

He probably doesn’t want to spend the next 13 months being called “Balls” Barton by his colleagues and staffers.

[Impy]

Well, tough. I’m sick of special elections. Unless you’re friggin dying or appointed to the cabinet (or commit a felony) you can damn well finish your term.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Come to think of it, I believe the costs for the special elections now (depending on the state) is well over $1 million. In the states where the nominees aren’t chosen by the party, you may have to have up to 5 elections. Primary for the Dems, primary for the GOP. Possible runoff primary for Dems, ditto for the GOP and then finally the special general itself.

You may be right that unless said person dies or is promoted to the Cabinet/Senate or Governorship, they be personally billed for the costs of the replacement elections. That also includes billing them if they are removed from office due to crimes.

The only thing not making sense is you who got upset so easily about some women not bothering anymore to raise their children, and instead would rather have bratty, rude children, and their own life.

[BlueHorseShoe]

Can you read? You totally missed (as did your wife apparently) my entire point! When did I say women should not raise their children? Look again at what you originally posted.

...”My wife said the same. Women were better off staying, and raising kids while the guy was working. The kids then were actually raised, and not ignored off parents who think giving kids what they want to shut them up is good parenting. ‘ Today most women are nasty with ugly tats, fat, wearing tight clothes showing their spare fat around their bodies,...”<\i>

How insulting to have that view of women. How further insulting women should not be allowed in the work force simply because you think in addition to the fact that we must be so hideous now you can’t control sexual impulses to hit on us? Hmmm. Which is it? Can’t be both.

Please don’t twist my words. I was raised in the 50’s and 60’s so I know having a mother at home. I understand those values we were raised with. You are a rude man and apparently a product of that which you complain about.

[manc]

how insulting, good grief snowflake get over it, and yourself.

[BlueHorseShoe]

Haha. I’m sad for you. And you know I’m far from a snowflake. Sad little man.

[morphing libertarian]

U got some catching up to do

[GOPsterinMA]

Guy’s an idiot. Welcome to Congress!

[NFHale]

He needs to be thrown out of Congress.

R or D, a scumbag’s a scumbag.

Yup, we need to start draining the swamp now!

Who would have ever thought that our Congress in D.C. would sink to living like a bunch of gators in the swamp?

We know that Gators love the swamp since they can hide themselves very well. Well, this why we need to drain the swamp. Like my best boss ever told us once that he knew what it was like when you find yourselves in a waist full of gators. I.E. I tell you to drain the swamp and your forget your objective that I told ya to do since you find yourselves up to ur waist full of gators.

Guess what, this time we are very serious about draining the Swamp once and for all. Our clear objective right now is to drain the swamp.

Here we are not even getting started on talking about all our hard earned tax dollars that are literally wasted $$$$ that is spent in D.C.
