    Only one democrat voted to support the American people during the China virus.

    Top dems tried to add increasing emissions standards for aircraft (as if the airlines aren't struggling enough), abortion funding, and collective bargaining for union members.

    Come November-Americans will not forget the priorities of the democrat party-its certainly not helping the American people.

    The Dems want to load up the package with the Green New Deal and other leftist programs to "remake American society". They don't give a rat's ass about economic relief for the people.

    The arguments are over sick leave for workers wanted by the D's and unrestricted unfettered bail outs to corporate America wanted by the R's.
    Not what you posted!!!

    They don't represent Americans at all.

    Correct. They represent an ideology.

    A Democrat putting the people's health ahead of gaining political power? I must be delirious from the Kung Flu.

    "When asked by CNN's Jake Tapper why he voted for the legislation Monday after voting against it on Sunday, Jones replied, "Because I think there's been great progress."

    Or maybe it was the Email I sent him this morning along with some other friends here in Alabama.

    It's over promoting a welfare solution over a workforce solution. Yea we know you prefer we come out of this with no jobs available and we're back to 2007 and Democrat economics and the disaster that was.

    A Vote that doesn't matter from a Lame Duck Senator headed to a sure loss in November.:roflol:

    What a Game Changer!

    What a Shocking UPSET if Jones loses in Alabama!

    Nobody sees that coming.:bored:

    And, speaking of November:

    By the time November rolls around, Biden will be headed to a Win and Mitch's Pettiness will probably lead to the Dems. taking Senate Control.

    Democrats are trying to cause as much pain as possible and hold back relief as long as possible to cause as much damage as possible because they think harming America will help them win 2020.

    Democrats do not play for the American team.

    If you believe Democrats have the intrest of the American people at heart, you're living in the past.

    It was the first bit of news I read this morning and before my Keurig and finished my first cup my email was off to him. Later on Facebook the local groups were saying how they had done the same.

    I believe he got the message, stop bending over for Schumer and vote the will of the people of Alabama and the United States.

    Raise your hand if you would exploit a crisis to advance your agenda even though it hurts Americans...

    All I can say is shame on Democrats and those who support them. They make xi and the Chinese Democrats proud.

    Looks like Republicans have enough votes to pass it regardless of what Democrats think. Why don't they?

    Ever wonder?

    How do tougher emissions standards for the airlines classify as “economic relief”?

    It has nothing to do with that-its just more of the Green New Deal being shoved into a relief bill.

    It's insane to me that people want to play politics at a time like this.

    It should be real simple - keep individuals and business afloat with stimulus until we have the resources to avoid overwhelming the medical infrastructure to the point of picking who lives or dies.

    Until then, keep your ass inside unless you absolutely must go out.

    Agreed. It's clear that this is the best path we can take with the information given to us, it's the path government put us on(IE: Whether we like it or not), and now they don't wanna pull the trigger.

    I'm not a 'conservative' in the sense of believing that government, as an engine is bad. I believe that government can be good if good people are in it. In Pelosi's "leadership", we're seeing there's not a lot of goodness.

    Really, what does putting Obamaphones and Global Warming stuff into the bill have to do with the virus?
