Latest moron in the Senate

Latest moron in the Senate. Cory Booker Tweeted, “half of all students in America are living in poverty” which is so wildly untrue even someone only vaguely aware of the actual state of America wouldn’t believe it. This is who New Jersey sent to Washington. He will be deciding how to spend your money. Something is wrong with our democracy.

  • That's not a problem with the electoral college, it's a function of corruption being tolerated in the local and state gatherings.

  • "Something is wrong with our democracy." Yeah - it ain't one and never has been one. It used to be a representative Republic, but it ain't that any more, either. It's been broke for a long time. One of the problems is that people have been conned into thinking it is supposed to be a democracy - hence the 17th Amendment and the outrageous focus on the popular vote for President and the attack on the Electoral College.

    • My problem with the electoral college is the left has stacked the deck in their favor, and I don't know if it is possible to fix that.

    • 100% agree especially about the direct election of senators. That may be the most destructive element to our republican form of government. We are now a Euro-style social democracy and quickly sliding to full on fascism. According to Hayek we are well on the road to serfdom.

      • I think it's clear the caliber of people we're getting in the Senate with direct elections is dismal. At least before, the people in the Senate could be easily replaced if they went against their own state's best interests - now the states as political entities have no representation in Washington. That's why we're seeing the war between states and feds right now.

  • I'm surprised these idiots don't argue that if you remove parents from the equation, every student would be living in poverty. Remember- children belong to the collective.

  • Nine tenths of all members of Congress have IQs below the stupidity level(and that's giving the one tenth the benefit of the doubt).

  • This has nothing to do with democracy, it has everything to do with the failure of affirmative action and pandering to the welfare recipients.
    FORWARD!
    ELEVENTY!
    SOCIALISM IS GREAT!

    Shoot me now.

    BTW, if anyone is wondering, I'm home sick. I figured I'd derail the obvious stupidity in case the troll drops in.

    • get well soon so you can get back to earning more to be redistributed, ya lum*!

          • Actually, I did. Well, maybe not engineers. Highway, bridge, dam, and airport inspectors with engineering degrees. Most of them weren't all that bright, though.

            I was playing with my radio scanner last night, and was fondly remembering when I was working on highway jobs, with my company contracted to CalTrans. I scouted around and found the frequencies for the inspectors, and listened in on them. They never did figure out how I stayed one step ahead of them all the time.
