50% more Democrats (39) voted for the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill then Republicans (25).
Worse there are 51 Republican Senators in the Senate and only 25 voted for this corrupt spending bill. That's right, less than 50% of Republican Senators voted for the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill. 26 did not vote for it (23 voted no and 3 did not vote).
Mitch McConnell - why did you bring this terrible bill to the floor when you could not get more then 50% of Republican Senators to vote for it?
Mitch McConnell - are you the leader of the Republicans or Democrats? Or simply the Swamp Monster in Chief?
If the Republicans lose the House or the Senate this November - then I think you can track the responsibility directly back to the action Mitch McConnell took to introduce this corrupt $1.3 trillion omnibus bill for a vote. People are sick of these bills full of special interest spending voted on before anyone has a chance to read it, understand it, or give feedback to their Senators. A lot of people are going on a voter strike this November and will stay home rather then vote for swamp monsters.
Consider voting for progressive candidates who have pledged to take no corporate, PAC/SuperPAC money, rather than not voting at all. There are progressives who align Republican in some races. If you don't like any candidates, you could run yourself. The main problem with our system is that we have 100m eligible voters who don't bother, because our congress is bought, and most candidates are just more of the same. But, there are a lot of people running this year to try to replace as many seats as possible with people pledged to take no special interest money, and only individual donors. Not voting is how we get more of the same.
Progressives stand for the opposite of what I believe in.
I believe in Free Minds, Free Markets, Less Tax and More Tolerance.
Also we have already seen this scam of no special interest money play out. They just turn off the verification on their payment processing systems so fine upstanding individuals like Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse can donate and you do not even know what country the money is coming from. Fool me once . . .
The important thing is what they do when they are in congress. Do they vote without reading bills? Do they vote for huge spending bills that waste our money and grow the size of government?
