Punch on Waters all you want… I really don’t care… but at least have a factual basis to base your attacks.

Factual basis, and coming to a conclusion based on those facts, does not mesh well with way too many self described conservatives, and their pre-conceived opinions/feelings.

That is the primary problem with their ideology. When facts deviate from their pre-conceived opinions/feelings, they default to those feelings, and deny reality.

I have been watching go on for close to 15 years.

And now the king denier of facts, is the POTUS.

For now.

Are there term limits well skilled craftsmen/builders?

If people keep buying their products, should they not be able to stay in their field?

This is what scares me the most about the Democrats winning control of the House – Maxine Waters, who appears to be low IQ and insane most of the time, as the new Chair of the House Financial Services Committee. I say, “Impeach Maxine! Impeach Maxine!” How could we do that?

What you say is very true, but the way you say it is bogus. It is not a conservative thing, but a human nature thing. Why do you think battered women go back to their abusers, or people with lung cancer continue to smoke? Most people in general make opinions on their personal experiences and facts be dammed. I cant tell you the amount of people that I have heard say they wont wear a seat belt because they dont want to be trapped in a car and burned alive. Facts be dammed on how many lives they save.

In 2004 Fannie’s value was over $700 billion.

The accounting scandal was over $11 billion.

People should have gone to jail.

That accounting scandal didn’t mean that Fannie was anywhere near the trouble it was in in 2008-2009

In the real world, we obviously have different standards of accountability. I will say this though…I practice what I preach.

Why should a Senator have to live in the state then?

Waters lives in california, which is the only constitutional requirement regarding residency.

who cares where in california she lives,

she is constitutionally eligible.

boy sneak, you usual 100 mile an hour fastball is about 80 and very hittable.

but then everyone has off days.

Her neighborhood is 6% black. Her district is 23.6%

A human could hang a billboard in front of their face reminding them not to do this and we would still do it many times over each day. Can’t help ourselves.

When it comes to political ideology, there is one ideology, that denies truths and facts.
There is also one ideology that buys into nearly every crazy conspiracy theory making the opposing ideology look bad…no matter how much evidence of the contrary is presented.

You are correct that human nature comes into play. In general, there are idiots on both sides of the aisle.

But when it comes to political ideologies, many, not all, conservatives fall into the crazy conspiracy/fact free category. And they literally found their leader.

her net worth is 2,000,000.

Living in a 4.800,000 house is not the brightest idea but hey its her life

Must think she can keep on getting elected until she passes. (like Strom Thurmond)

each to his own.

She doesn’t love the people she claims to represent. Won’t even live in the same neighborhoods.

She has a district so bad she won’t live in it.

No she doesn’t.

That’s true! Because of redistricting, the boundaries of her district changed and now she has to walk 3 minutes from her front door to the border of her district…

LucyLou · 2018-11-13T13:09:09.885Z

That’s good she didn’t have to give up her house.

So she lives 3 minutes from her district, which is outside her district, even with redistricting.

She has never lived in her district as a representative. Maybe the first year.

I can see you’re bothered by it.

Absolutely. I can see you’re not.
