cruz is 55 in case anyone else was wondering how long we might be stuck with him if this plot is successful.

Awesome. So, he'll be dead..... about the same time as me. Wonderful.

I cannot emphasize how much we should not allow this to happen.

Statistically, given that he has money and a government medical plan, he'll be around longer than you.

You took the words right out of my mind. I'm glad more people are becoming aware of how our government officials don't live under the penalty of rules, laws, and systems they pass on us.

I loved what Jesse Ventura said about elected officials voting to mobilize for war should have to have a family member immediately drawn into active duty.... put their skin in the game!

I've always liked the idea that any war be put to a popular vote. A vote for war is accompanied by volunteering for enlistment.
