I will never vote again for Richard Burr. He's not up for re-election or he'd be singing a different tune. It really irks me that he knows he voted against the people's wishes but did so anyway. I hope the rest of the people in North Carolina will remember this when he's up for election again.

Hopefully Graham and McConnell will lose their primaries..

So where is the state by state poll results, showing the voters wanted a government shutdown? Or didn't?
That would be what the Senators would be guilty of either ignoring or following.
Anybody got the polls, or is it just individual opinions, about the voters' position?
-
Graham is at an all time low in SC, McCain is at an all time low and the subject of a recall effort in AZ... they still gave their voters the middle finger and are trying to have it both ways.
-
Iraq War vet. Erick Wyatt is challenging Cornyn in the Republican primary.
-
I sent Roy Blunt a scathing email I will work against him his next election. Some around here have even got so fed up they wonder if they can get a recall going. I am so tired of his back and forth voting i have come to the conclusion he is nothing but a rhino.

There are several states where you can't recall a United States senator.
