‘Abolish the Senate’: Longest Serving House Dem Suggests Head-Scratching Way to End Political Gridlock

This sounds a bit odd to me. It’s scary, but both sides would be in charge at some point. The laws would completely flip flop and it would be a mess. These communists are pretty scary. I don’t see how this could happen. It’s not legal and unconstitutional, but I guess you never know.

Funny....he doesn't want to abolish the house that his seat is in.

He either knows this and doesn't care. Or he's an idiot. Hanlon's razor?

He was a solid pro-gun Democrat. He doesn't look like he is playing with a full deck now, look at him. His son is a judge and a shooter. He frequents one of the gun forums. Doesn't talk about politics much.

These people know full well that the founders DESIGNED a system that had the maximum amount of resistance to "factionalism" (i.e. partisan zeal) that they could imagine. This is of course anathema to the communists endemic to the "Democrat" party, whose role model is the bolshevik politburo.

Much easier to get 100 folks to agree to do nothing than 435.

Abolishing the senate would not remove money from politics. That money would just go into the house races. What an imbecile.

Whenever democrats talk about removing money from politics, it's always the money that tends to skew towards republicans. Money from groups like unions or left wing causes apparently don't count as "bad" sources of money. Money from the Koch brothers = bad, money from Soros or Steyer = good.

He looks like he is overdue for his dirt nap.

When the Democrats are in the majority, it's people like him who keep gun legislation off the floor.

I saw this. I just rolled my eyes and moved on. It's a dumb idea that has no chance in Hell of happening.

 

[Twogunwilly]

I'm all for abolishing NY senators

 

[SomeSoldier]

I am for abolishing Cumhole.

 

[Mosinitis]

This has no chance of happening.
It was a throw away comment by a senile politician, who is a friend of gun owners.
The sky is not falling.

I’d like to think your right about it not happening, but 5 years ago I’d say there was no chance in hell of a teenage girl saying she was a boy and being allowed to change with 25 other teenage men. That happened.

I would be all for abolishing the 17th amendment and sending the selection of senators back to the state legislators like it was originally intended.

 

[Marine Cpl]

He wants to abolish the Senate because each state has equal representation. With just the House, the only states that would have a say are California, New York, Florida, and Texas. Those 4 states would dictate policy to the rest of the country.

I think your right.

 

[Podmonkey]

The only thing left to do is to peaceably divide the country.......... Or for one side to kill the other.

I would say abolish the lobby first and then both houses and assign the organization to someone corporation that is driven
based on accountability and results. Otherwise fire them all and get in here some outsourcing to japanse or someone with some code of ethics.
Do the same with Governors, cities and limit their powers.

Poly = Many
Ticks = Parasites

Politics = Many Parasites.
