They tell underclass Americans that the reason they suffer is because the US is in a recession.

Yet they keep spending billions on war, it's the worlds greatest hypocrisy.

If they weren't spending billions on war there wouldn't be a recession?

Nothing brave or upstanding about voting against funding Israel when you already know your vote is worthless and won't decide anything :sas1:

This is why democracy is a failed system. These people are supposed to represent the people yet everything they do is for their own personal interest. These people need to be left in the Serengeti to their own devices.
It was built on a compromise :yeshrug: And once corporations started influencing legislation...

If you really think this, you're dumb.

Just calling it as is. You lack critical thinking skills.
:heh: i meant "hold me back!!" is how i basically see this vote...To me they hold no fukking weight. if you think it does then :salute: to you.

Talking about i lack critical thinking skills. :childplease: tell me what these 8 votes against accomplish? how will they affect future votes on Israel? If you had exercised your so called critical thinking skills you'd adopt the same cynical view on shyt like this. Thats the only logical conclusion you came come to b/c as evidenced by this vote, these 8 were powerless. The only way their vote would truly hold meaning is if they could decide whether Israel get this funding or not. Then they'd truly be a threat to the establishment. Right now they are just specks of dust on the establishment shoulder's that will be easily brushed off.
If you think otherwise then you probably put a glass of chocolate on your chimney and some cookies every christmas eve so Santa Claus could bring you presents :camby:

So, let me make sure I follow your argument.

Eight congressmen vote in the minority by about 98% to 2%--potentially angering one of the most powerful lobbies in the country in an election year-- and this is not brave/outstanding because their votes were losing votes?

So, the only brave vote is a winning vote?

Are you trolling, breh?
