The United States Senate at last voted on the Save America Act. The crazy Democrat politicians lined up with their radical left sponsors voting no to the last man. “Murky” Murkowski was the only Republican no vote. Republican Tom Tillis of North Carolina refused to vote, abstaining in spite of all his negativity of late. Tillis is the lame duck senator who must have finally seen the hand writing on the wall. The vote to open debate was 51 yes and 48 no.
Debate in
the Senate now begins with 80 to 90 % of all American voters, Democrats and Republicans,
having already made up their minds. America wants to know that their elections
are righteous and we, as Americans, are united on this issue as never before. The
American people want their politicians to vote for this national “do or die”
legislation requiring a Photo I.D and citizenship to vote in federal elections.
Debate,
however, is not a law to be signed sitting on the president’s desk. The holdup is
that silly senate filibuster rule requiring 60 votes out of 100 to pass all new
legislation. The rule is not in the Constitution nor is it the thinking of our
founding fathers. The rule is a place for senators to hide from the prying eyes
of the people. Someday the filibuster rule will be thrown out with the trash,
and the senate will be again a democracy, winner (50 votes) takes all.
Some of us
believe that the time to trash is now. Well maybe, maybe not? There is a dated
piece of American wisdom that may apply to our political situation. The wisdom
states, “Never look a gift horse in the mouth”. The wisdom is about gratitude.
A gift is a gift. A gift should be graciously accepted and not inspected. A
gift is a gift. Could it be that the Save Act is meant to be the Republican banner
and focus for the midterm election this November? Does America still want to be
American?
The November
midterm will then be, not about Trump or gas prices, it will be about the people’s future. The Senate debate will kick off the midterm enthusiasm. Thanks be unto the radical left; we are grateful for the people's soon to be winning midterm election season. Thank you!
