Dingellberry is back!

It’s like he never ... oh, wait, he did never leave. They never leave.

California is NOT underrepresented.......

Abolishing the Senate and leaving only the House would not be enough, of course, for the RATS. We need only look to how they organize themselves for selecting their Presidential nominee with super delegates under party control who actually decide on the nominee to see that they do not trust the spirit of their own name no matter how much they blather on about population and equal representation.

There are 435 Representatives and only 100 Senators. A normal person who pays income taxes would say it would make more sense to get rid of the House of Representatives and only have the Senate. We could also save a ton of money on elections by get rid of the worthless House.

Curious how Dung-hell wants to abolish the Senate when WE control it.

Tell ya what, Dung-hell. Let’s abolish the House! Well, at least until we control it again.

Fair?

[dead]

There is a legal and constitutionally valid method for changing the Constitution, Dingell. But it would involve lots of actual work with very little television time and, honestly, would never ever ever be successful in this case.

But, you’ll always have the opportunity to whinge ineffectually about the situation and have a little cry. You'll find it easy to enlist the likes of giggly metrosexual men and random interchangeable actresses to your cause.

Dingell must be abolished with extreme prejudice and malice.

[yesthatjallen]

Think of the minority of transgenders who hold us hostage with their extremist views.

[DarthVader]

Actually we are going to abolish this House and it is going to be fun to watch.

How about repeal the 17th Amendment?

While we're at it, how about Medicaid for .gov employees and elected officials? Let's try it out on them first...

"To be ignorant of all antiquity is a mutilation of the human mind; it is early associations and local circumstances which give bent to the mind of a people from their infancy, and insensibly constitute the nationality of genius."

[Isaac D'Israeli]

[RatRipper]

Repeal the 17th

Agreed. The Founding Fathers were correct to make the Senate accountable to the States. You would see the term “unfunded mandate” evaporate into thin air.

:: These sparsely populated, usually conservative states can block legislation supported by a majority of the American people. ::

What he REALLY means:

These sparsely populated, usually conservative states can block legislation supported by a majority of PROGRESSIVE CALIFORNIANS.

Cause, that’s what is fair; that we should all be governed by Californians.

“Former Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich)………”

Note the “D”, it figures.

[coon2000]

I agree with him on this, a “minority of obnoxious asses can hold the entire country hostage to extremist views”. The reality of that truthful statement is 99% of the obnoxious asses (a-holes) are liberal democrats.

We’re going to have another civil war. It’s a question of when, not if.

Yes. Note my tagline. We're semi-auto shopping currently.

[Mouton]

Maybe we con just appoint Casio queen now.

[MarMema]

LOL, did he say that???? OMG. He was gone in 2015 but is old enough that perhaps nature will give us a helping hand soon.

[Brilliant]

The Dems will do anything for power. Why don’t we just become a dictatorship and make Pelosi the dictator?

”… 73 percent of Americans trusted the federal government “to do the right thing almost always or most of the time."

One of the right things for the feds to most of the time which the corrupt feds actually don’t do is to not interfere in state sovereignty.
