We always seem unable to realize that legislators are like the easiest job to replace. Thousands of qualified professionals running around doing real jobs. Why can't the parties just implement a policy where they try to force out fuck-ups like Young?
Is he dead? What about Beefy? His last post is here: https://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?63452-Chipotle-Options&p=1508992#post1508992I miss you dude
Travel well
How far you have fallen
It seems, to some on the left, that the right-wing is more about the right-wing fantasy of bigotry and fascism and a preference for their socialism on a national and international basis than about being legal to the laws or about equal protection of the laws or even more about capitalism.We all know what Young said:
"My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."
The old fart is just another out of touch throwback Republican moron that hasn't learned that this isn't the 50's anymore. No surprise there.
This reaction I find interesting though:
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the number two Republican in the upper chamber, was also quick to seek distance from the comment. He blasted Young in a statement, saying migrant workers come to the country for work and opportunities, not to "hear ethnic slurs and derogatory language from elected officials."
"The comments used by Rep. Young do nothing to elevate our party, political discourse or the millions who come here looking for economic opportunity," he continued.
In that order. Party first, political discourse second, people third.
Party first.
Right or wrong?

You're responding to a dead man.
