[paul718]

To all the Republicans who prefer McConnell to Bunning...Why is that?  Because he campaigned on the fact that as Leader, he'll bring more of your tax dollars to his constituents?

Bunning > McConnell

[Lief 🗽]

I agree 50 out of 50 with BRTD.

[CultureKing]

Why do so many people prefer Cantwell over Murray?

[JohnnyLongtorso]

To all the Republicans who prefer McConnell to Bunning...Why is that?  Because he campaigned on the fact that as Leader, he'll bring more of your tax dollars to his constituents?

Bunning > McConnell

Maybe because McConnell isn't senile.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

As far as prefering Sen Cantwell to Sen Murray, Sen Murray has flipped flopped on a lot of issues such as pay raises for Senators and voting for funding the troops in Iraq besides that she is more liberal than Cantwell.
