Perfect example of uniting around a common cause; rehashing 2016 only distracts from the task @hand. InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2017 #84

Not a ton. Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #22

Because Conyers is not a national figure..... virtualobserver Sep 2017 #3

Do you have any idea of how weird what you posted sounds. Blue_true Sep 2017 #58

I know who Conyers is because I follow politics. He is a Washington figure, not a national one. virtualobserver Sep 2017 #64

BTW, John Conyers ran for President. Blue_true Sep 2017 #67

running for President certainly does not......no more than it made Jim Gilmore or Lincoln Chafee one virtualobserver Sep 2017 #73

I am so sick of hearing about single payer bills when the ACA is likely to be repealed Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #4

if Republicans repeal the ACA.... virtualobserver Sep 2017 #7

I don't know that is true...and even if we crush them...we still don't have the votes until 20 Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #8

I can't prove that we will have the votes....but I think that we will. virtualobserver Sep 2017 #10

Maybe we will and maybe we won't...but betting thousands of lives that we will Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #14

We can do nothing until the 2018 election virtualobserver Sep 2017 #26

Well, this certainly is an interesting new wedge. Iggo Sep 2017 #12

Not a wedge Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #15

Sure. nt Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #28

What does that mean? Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #42

Whoa. Stepping up the game, are we? Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #46

You certainly implied he/she (don't know) was lying tymorial Sep 2017 #55

I said it sure is a wedge, whether meant or not. Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #57

But it shouldn't be a wedge. Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #90
