Being Called A Jerk By A Potential Senator I was part of a discussion with the woman who unsuccessfully ran against WV Senator Capito GOP about the Senate Bill 4317 - SAFE TO WORK Act, Most Republicans tend to be pro-business while Democrats sometimes look at corporations as evil and greedy. The Bill is designed protect businesses from being overwhelmed by Covid-19 related lawsuits. I support the Bill because Corporations equals jobs and West Virginia can't afford to drive potential employers away. This doesn't mean that businesses don't take reasonable measures to protect their workers but Covid-19 happens even with the best of intentions. An employee can go to a brothel and catch covid-19 among other things. He goes to work and blames the employer. A lawyer helps him sue the employer and takes most of the most of the from the settlement spending it at that very same brothel. Eventually, the employer goes out of business along with the jobs. Mortgages, rent, car insurance, utilities, credit cards, ad infinitum don't get . So Senator Capito's opponent tells that my 's life is worth more than a job and material things. While that is true, he still needs to make a living even if he has to wear a mask at work. I would love to have a basement for him to live in unfortunately, I live in the basement. A man from Los Angeles called me a bootlicker. I called him a jerk and the wanna be Senator called me a jerk. Interestingly, this woman is going after Senator Manchin's seat in two years. What she doesn't realize it that West Virginia GOP is also looking to unseat Manchin. She is not going to it without Republican support since we are officially a red state. Apparently, she gets her information on the Bills by reading the Onion. I go straight to the Congressional site to read the actually Bills,  Abracadabra  |

(12) One of the chief impediments to the continued flow of interstate commerce as this public-health crisis has unfolded is the risk of litigation. Small and large businesses, schools, colleges and universities, religious, philanthropic and other nonprofit institutions, and local government agencies confront the risk of a tidal wave of lawsuits accusing them of exposing employees, customers, students, and worshipers to coronavirus. Health care workers face the threat of lawsuits arising from their efforts to fight the virus. (13) They confront this litigation risk even as they work tirelessly to comply with the coronavirus guidance, rules, and regulations issued by local governments, State governments, and the Federal Government. They confront this risk notwithstanding equipment and staffing shortages. And they confront this risk while also grappling with constantly changing information on how best to protect employees, customers, students, and worshipers from the virus, and how best to treat it. (14) These lawsuits pose a substantial risk to interstate commerce because they threaten to keep small and large businesses, schools, colleges and universities, religious, philanthropic and other nonprofit institutions, and local government agencies from reopening for fear of expensive litigation that might prove to be meritless. These lawsuits further threaten to undermine the Nation’s fight against the virus by exposing our health care workers and health care facilities to liability for difficult medical decisions they have made under trying and uncertain circumstances.

Really Starwomyn! Republicans SAY they want the government out of their dally lives ... and Republicans SAY they stand for "liberty". But you support the government telling you who and what you can bring into a court of law. Really! And thank God it's Judges who decide who and what gets heard in the courtroom ... NOT a boot licker like Mitch McConnell.

You say .. "Most Republicans tend to be pro-business while Democrats sometimes look at corporations as evil and greedy". To that I would say ... Most Democrats tend to be pro-labor while Republicans look at working class people as evil and greedy. Both statements make a good bumper sticker ... but politics is best looked at case by case and one piece of legislation at a time. Bumper sticker politics got the Republican party a one term president.

Laborers and workers do become contractors with businesses that employ others. Abracadabra

Republican congressmen elected in 2018. Jim Baird from Indiana, lost his left arm in Vietnam. Brian Mast from Florida, lost both legs in Afghanistan. Dan Crenshaw Texas, lost his right eye in Afghanistan. All three of these men are Purple Heart recipients. But how often have you seen them on the evening news? What makes the news more frequently is the two Democrat Muslim women, and the communist from NY, all blabbering vulgarities and spouting out anti-Israel/anti-American insults. Let's see appreciation for real service to our nation! Abracadabra

Frivolous lawsuits can have a devastating effect on the local businesses and economy. The Bill is intended to prevent that scenerio. The way government works is there are three branches, the executive, the legislation, and the judicial. They check and balance each other. Recent lawsuits generated by Texas on the election process from other states. The Supreme Court refused to hear the cases because they determined that the Federal Government and Texas do not have the authority to monitor the election process of other states. Three of these Judges were appointed by the Executive branch. It is ironic because the local GOP elected officials in West Virginia are mostly small business men. Most of them work in construction. Laborers and workers do become contractors with businesses that employ others. Making covid political was a very stupid thing to do .. and that's exactly why it might come back to bite some in the wallet. It didn't have to go that way.

Sure as shootin, a missing body part is central to being an able and fair representative of their constituents......Yup....that's what I always look for when I'm choosing who to vote for.......the more missing body parts, the more votes they deserve.....yessir...... Abracadabra

These gentlemen are much more than the body parts that they lost in the war. Dan Crenshaw in particular is an interesting one to watch. He is going places and will do great things. Far as I know, Canadians don't have the option of voting in United State elections nor choosing who serves in our Congress and Senate. The common thread with most of the GOP legislation is their military backgrounds. As far as your attitude that only those who are able to vote in your country have a legitimate interest in it's politics......Well, I'm not surprised.....That is a common Republican mind-set I have witnessed many times. The Christian Right in the US has the same attitude towards Atheists......They can't imagine why we are interested in religion.......It seems to be a lack of imagination coupled with a personal lack of intellectual curiosity. I remember a Bill O'Reilly segment where he was interviewing a man about his recently published, very popular book about the history of the Bible....The author was on a book tour. O'Reilly completely ignored the content of the book and aggressively demanded him to justify how he, being a Muslim, would write a book about Christianity. The author explained over and over that he had a double doctorate in Religious Studies and Christian History......That he was a professor of Christian History and the book was part of the syllabus of his courses etc......This was all information that O'Reilly was given before the interview, but he just kept attacking the man for having an interest and knowledge in a subject that didn't fit into O'Reilly's world-view.......Typical of Trumpism.

And yet their missing body parts is what you chose to emphasize when recommending these these politicians......and you voted for Trump, who used his privilege to avoid military service and whose family has a long legacy of avoidance of military service. As far as your attitude that only those who are able to vote in your country have a legitimate interest in it's politics......Well, I'm not surprised.....That is a common Republican mind-set I have witnessed many times. The Christian Right in the US has the same attitude towards Atheists......They can't imagine why we are interested in religion.......It seems to be a lack of imagination coupled with a personal lack of intellectual curiosity.

Obama has never served in the Military nor has Bill or Hillary Clinton. The Military is not a requirement for running for office but it is something that I would definitely look at when considering who to vote for. It's a good indication of someone with a love a country and willing to go the extra mile for it. Ironically, my older son had asthma as a child, became a marathon runner as teenager and enlisted in the Navy after graduation of High School and a few years of college afterwards. My niece did the same as did her father and my father. So absolutely, I consider someone's military history when deciding who to vote for. Abracadabra
