Why do the Democrats win ANY elections? Because we are on the side of the issue that the majority of voters favor. While Republicans are trying to raise the age of Medicare and Social Security, in order to bestow tax-cuts on the wealthiest, we are defending programs that are popular and are under attack.
In all fairness though raising the retirement age is a common sense measure. Social Security was not designed for people to draw benefits for 20+ years. IIRC when the program was set up back in the 1930s they designed it for the average person to draw benefits for 5 years ... and they still set the age high enough that a considerable number of people would die before becoming eligible.
Dont you hate it when that happens, politicians no less gop or dem
yep. I used to think it was their business what they did behind closed doors. But I feel that it's a sign of no morals and lack of respect. And people without morals or respect don't deserve such important positions.
According to Washington insiders, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is having an affair with Renee Ellmers (R-NC). McCarthy dropped out of the Speaker race, and may have done so because an unknown insider is circulating a surveillance video on Capitol Hill, of him dining with Ellmers in an intimate setting.
and you know for a fact this is why he backed down? And you think more Republicans than Democrats do this and you think people in all lines of work are not guilty of similar actions? I do not condone adultry, though i sometimes understand it, I do not happen to agree with McCarthys politics, but I do not not see where this makes him a hypocrite in any way. Has he ever introduced any bill regarding marriage and fadlity? I actuallly give him credit, if what you say is the reason he is stepping down.

Not like the beautiful marriage Hillary and Bill have.
Name calling is so mature, regardless what side you are on. I do not care for him, I would love to see someone from Ca get the position just not him, but there is no reason for calling him an idiot. We live in a country where we may not agree but we have the right to do so. This doesn't make a person an idiot.
Having an affair will not cost a politician anymore. Ask that guy from South Caolina. He got re elected as did David Vitter.
A Governor and candidate for president walked in the St.Patrick's day parade with his mistress while his family was at Graci Mansion. NYC provided security for her for months. We won't even talk about Donald Trump. Clinton was so well known for Tom Cattin around he could be easily set up by whom ever hired Monica to do it.
