Bob Gorrell for March 07, 2021

Gorrell and other Trump Disciples are scared to death that Those People will be able to vote.

Republicans* might be required to learn other skills besides sucking up to The Messiah.

Hey Bobby, remember the mantras of four years ago: You lost!! Get over it!! & Elections have consequences!! Are you suffering from long term memory loss??!!

Minority rule counts heavily on low turnout and gerrymandering, restricted access to polls, and other engineered election techniQues to sustain itself.

Dems won, get over it.

Elections have consequences

Better be glad that Democrats believe in democracy Gorrell. You’ll still be able to speak, publish your hate cartoons, vote, everything you do now. Except prevent others from voting. I know you hate that.

Hey, here’s an idea…how about Republicans work FOR something, other than just against everything? You could try to persuade people to vote Republican, instead of blocking them from voting Democrat?

Gee, why didn’t the GOP try that gambit 6 years ago?

Did Mr. Gorrell complain when that one party was the GOP? I think I smell massive hypocrisy here.

Another swing…and a miss. That’s three, you’re out.

I would settle for the party/candidate getting the most votes consistently winning the election.

Outrageous that Nancy should try to improve the democratic process of electing your leaders. Does she not realize that by allowing the colored folk into the process the whities will lose. Has she not studied history.. Good Lord, where is that women’s brains. /S

There would be true two party rule if the Republicans hadn’t allowed themselves to slide into the festering mass of swamp dregs they have.

Repubs need to get off their ass and join the Dems in putting together good legislation, not going back to being the Party of No.

Poor Bob. Fair elections mean one party rule only if the other party has no ideals, morals, plans, or positive values. A shrinking group of old white guys spouting hatred to those like them isn’t it.

“To hell with Democracy” seems to be the Right’s new slogan.

The GOP lost the right to pretend any outrage or indignation against any action by Democrats, after casting aside their ethics, morals and honor over the last 4 years.

Good grief Gorrell. Are you that deluded?

Senate majority leader Schumer pulled off a brilliant one this morning. He called for a quorum, and no one on the Republican side appeared. They had all gone home, exhausted. So with only Democrats present, He invoked cloture on the Merrick garland nomination. Invoking cloture means that there won’t be any further filibuster, and there will be a straight up and down vote. We have the votes to confirm Merrick. It was a brilliant procedural move on his part, and it means we have a new attorney general next week.

All of the reforms in H.R. 1 will help Republicans vote too.

They are spending almost 2 TRILLION Dollars. Only 9% is for covid relief. We will all be paying for this for a long time.

Republicans are jealous – they also want one-party rule, but it must be theirs…

Yeah, it would be, but not for the reasons you’re implying. From what I can see the only thing the Republican party stands for is coddling the rich, keeping America white and owning the libs. They have no platform other than that.

They don’t attract many minorities. They don’t attract the young. Their main constituency is white males. There was a time that they had ideas worth considering, but they’ve abandoned that in favor of riling up the crowd with lies and wedge issues.

They are a minority party and will remain that way until they start talking about how they can make America better.

No Mr Gorrell, H.R.1 is to stop republican party attempts to cheat, to steal votes from those not GQP-friendly. Probably would help if you read anything about the bill that wasn’t pro-voter suppression.

4/26

Gorrell is admitting that the GOP cannot win elections without disenfranchising voters.

Which part of HR-1 does Gorrell take issue with?

making it easier for people to register to vote? Same day voter registration?

nationwide early voting?

restoring the 1965 voting rights act?

creating small donor matching system?

ending partisan gerrymandering by having an independent redistricting commission draw districts?

restoring voting rights felons who served their time? (something that Florida, a state that went to Trump twice, and has a republican governor and 2 GOP senators passed with over 64% of the vote.)

prohibiting voter roll purges?

election security measures like paper ballots and a national strategy for voting system security?

requiring politicians to disclose large donors?

more oversight to enforce campaign finance laws?

making it a crime to provide false information to voters with the intention of misleading them or preventing them from voting?

preventing members of congress from serving on corporate boards?

requiring presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns?

Well, if the Publicans keep saying “la-la-la-la” with their fingers in their ears, the Democrats have no choice but to go it alone. Frankly it’s just as well: a favorite game of the Publicans in the minority is to haggle for this that and the other change in a bill that “disimproves” it or serves to undermine its purpose . . . and then vote against it anyway. Most spectacularly in the case of Hillarycare.

Y’know, I’m reminded of the Publicans in 2017 when they bankrupted the country with the biggest tax cut in history (via “reconciliation”, to boot). And no Democratic votes. I guess that sort of monopartisanship is OK.

Is Gorrell anything other than a stooge for the ‘Party of No’ and the COVID-19 Denier-in-Chief?

Get used to it. Republicans have been allowed to stone wall the USA progressing to a more perfect union far long enough. The Republicans have lost all three houses, despite Republican voter suppression. It’s time the Republicans realize that the vast majority of Americans don’t want to live in the Conservative Jim Crow past. We most certainly don’t want to live in a Donald J Trump future.

What I want to know is why don’t Republicans want to support everyone’s right to vote and a law that would protect that and get rid of dark money. Hmm, I wonder?

Let’s face it, the vast majority of Americans don’t want to go back to the days of the Jim Crow South, which found it’s way north in too many more subtle ways. We just don’t.

After all, Republicans are always complaining about gerrymandering, you’d think they would support a bill that got rid of political gerrymandering. Oh, right, they only complain when the Democrats do it. Let’s face it, the Republicans do it more and far worse, which is why they don’t want to get rid of that tool to elect many of their otherwise unelectable politicians. Kind of like they complain about career politicians, but keep voting for their own career politicians, like Mitch M. Sadly, to keep the system from falling into chaos, we need some career politicians. We, also need free and fair elections to enable us to vote out the ones that no longer serve a purpose that benefits all Americans.

So Gorrell is another Republikkkan admitting that they can’t beat Democrats in fair elections, so rather than come up with new, better ideas, they come up with new ways to keep the “wrong” people from voting.

there are some good things in the bill. . .there are also as I understand it provisions that restrict access to matching funds for 3rd parties. . .not good

How about the using of taxpayer dollars for political campaigns?

And which party is actively using ‘electoral reform’ to further suppress the votes of people of color and other minorities, because they actually DO want one party rule? Why, yes, it’s the Republicans.

No, he is just remembering, these next 4 years will have consequences!
