GOP performs sloppy fake-voting burlesque

"No Republicans voted for the bill" was the description NBC News offered in their coverage of the narrowly passed $1.9 billion dollar Democratic "Supplemental security bill" which is part of their using the Jan. 6 riot to signal that the American people can't be trusted.

You see, while no Republicans voted for the bill, two Republicans didn't vote at all.

California Republican Ken Calvert's office explained he simply forgot to cast the proxy vote for Texas GOP representative John Carter.

So for us to believe Mr. Calvert would even be allowed to "Forget" to issue the proxy vote we would have to believe that everyone looked away at exactly the wrong time.

The story in July of 2017 was about Sen. John McCain having gone rogue, entering the Senate and then dramatically issuing his thumbs down on the vote to repeal and replace Obamacare.

A better argument explaining his vote is that it was exactly what the GOP establishment wanted.

Either way, hearing constituents is one important way to shake them out of their slouch back toward "Normal." One thing they can be sure of, a good majority of 75-million Trump voters won't "Forget" to vote in 2022.
