Maybe some of us just wish that everyone eligible who wants to can register to vote?

Try to imagine just for a second that some want more people to vote because participating in the democratic process is good, and not just because they hope more voters will result in a particular outcome.

Nah. In no aspect of life do people open up the decision-making process to the irresponsible, lazy, and anti-social people, EXCEPT for liberals in politics trying to boost their numbers.

The decision making process by right is open to all citizens. No one is trying to restrict it except for cons because when more people vote they tend to lose.

After what happened today, it doesn't really matter. That cold-hearted vote by the R's just guaranteed an Ossof landslide, along with the flipping of the House next year.

Why, that cute little shindig in the Rose Garden this afternoon alone was nothing but priceless free footage for campaign ads - so thanks for that!

Let us never forget that tax breaks for the wealthy are so much more important than the elderly, disabled and the poorest of the poor getting kicked off of Medicade.

You should be hanging you head in total shame tonight.

I disagree with the AHCA as well but come on man this is nonsense. It's going to be close.

(((Ossof))) is an anti-white racist. He's a carpetbagger. You people are nuts to support such ilk. Why bother living in Atlanta if you are globalists? Suckers!

Bwahahahahaha. Man, that's probably the most stereotypical response that could have come out.

Ossof grew up in the district, is only living in the other district because his girlfriend is going to school, and will be moving back once that's done.

That said, there is no law or requirement that the person live in their congressional district.

I hope yesterday's vote on health insurance was a wake up call for all Americans.
