The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress

I've heard nothing about outbreaks due to in person voting here or any reports that states where there was mostly mail in voting they are doing any better with COVID that states that voted in person. Took me 25 minutes to vote. I showed my ID verifying who I am, I was handed a ballot, had my own pen, filled out my ballot, took it to the tabulation scanner, put it in myself, saw it was tabulated and on my way. No other person ever touched or had control of my filled out ballot until after it was tabulated but me. I wonder what percent of mail in voters actually even checked to see if their ballot was received and accepted.

 

You knew it would be safe how?

Made up BS.

 

Why would in person voting not be safe?

 

They might get COVID-19. They can't know before going to vote if conditions will be safe. What if your spouse, parents, or children live with you and have health conditions that would put them at grave risk if they catch the virus?

 

More people die on a yearly average from cancer then from covid. Cancer kills 600,000 people on average.

Look at the total number of deaths per year for the last 5 year's. They all average the same per CDC website. Without covid just as many people died.

Also where has the common flu and other illnesses gone? It's as if they don't exist anymore.

Covid is not that bad. The data is wrong.

Voting on election day in person was safe. Everyone was fine.

 

I have voted twice before already this year and know the guidelines. You don't know how to safely follow the guidelines? Are you barricaded in your home or something?

Before you call BS make sure you know what you are talking about. Show me where states that had mail in voting have fewer cases of COVID than states that did not because because they had mail in voting.

 

So you haven't left your house for how many months now?

 

That seems to be the only thing you can come up with to say.

And it remains that you would want a repeat of this election is not humorous but quite scary.

 

So what? 250,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. There was no need for even 100,000 of those deaths.

You're advancing what? Measures to deal with COVID-19 cause more deaths from other causes than the deaths from the virus? The "excess death" stats say otherwise.

Says who? You? Measures to combat COVID-19 also protect against the flu.

COVID-19 causes significant organ damage in a lot of 20- and 30-somethings with mild symptoms.

You don't know that, nor did you have any way of knowing that in advance.

 

An absurd claim.

 

You don't know the guidelines are adequate or followed.

It's BS to say I want a repeat of the 2020 election.

Irrelevant to your absurd claim I want to repeat the 2020 election.

 

How did she escape notice?
And babeilicious too

Gun-toting congresswoman-elect
may carry Glock at Capitol​

Yup, that's her Glock holstered on her hip.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A firearms-toting congresswoman-elect who owns a gun-themed restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, has already asked Capitol Police about carrying her weapon on Capitol grounds, her office has acknowledged. If she does so, she apparently won't be alone.

The practice is allowed for lawmakers, with some limitations, under decades-old congressional regulations. The public is barred from carrying weapons in the Capitol, its grounds and office buildings.

Republican Lauren Boebert, 33, was elected this month from a conservative western Colorado district after gaining notice as a brash pro-gun activist who straps a Glock pistol to her hip. In an upset last June, she defeated five-term Rep. Scott Tipton for the GOP nomination, in part by claiming he wasn't an ardent enough backer of President Donald Trump. . . ;

Interesting biography & politics.

STOP ​

 

Congresswoman Lauren

​

 

Why should folks vote for someone who only had a GED and runs a coffee shop?

Who we elect to office shouldn't be a damn 'personal statement.'

 

What does a GED or a Degree have to do with serving your community?

 

I like persons who are not lawyers.

That's why.


Moi
Californian

 

She's serving her community in her diner. We need people with skills they acquired through education or work experience. But you knew that.

 

Does it take a degree to be a top military intelligence official? A standard MI enlisted solider that begins as an analyst, can easily make a Presidential advisory committee later in their career. I'm not sure why a college piece of paper in your mind means someone is qualified to serve their community.

In fact, it's not very democratic of you to believe so.

 

No one said you should pick a Rudy Guiliani.

How about an engineer, or a doctor to help fix healthcare?

 

I taught high school students and adults for years. If I thought these people had nothing to offer, I wouldn't have wasted my time on them.

Sure, Lauren Boebert may be sharp as a tack and self-taught, but no one around here knows her from a hole in the ground.

If you think I'm against women without university degrees ... my mother went to a junior college was mayor of a city.

Don't you think it's damn well time for Joe and Jane American to search out and support smart people instead of channeling those with an urge to lift a middle-finger at the political system? Someone needs to fix this...

 

Your response is the response I expected. It's not about what a person knows about their community, or how much knowledge they have...it's about a piece of paper.

Let me ask you this...what if a potential congressman or woman running had a culinary arts degree? Going up against someone that has participated in their community efforts for years?

Why would that degree mean more for them?

 

I chaired a group that successfully opposed a plan by a 20-city consortium of then about 1.5m people to put a two-square mile garbage dump in what is now a suburban community. I'm not a civil engineer.

Again, Boebert may be a sharp woman, perhaps qualified for the job, but her supporters around her don't know that. They see a pistol-packing chick and that's enough for them. Middle finger raised doesn't fix this...

 

You're slowly proving my point. A true supporter of Democracy supports the will of the voters. If someone is a champion in their community and they want them to represent them, then they ARE qualified. It's why people like AOC have such big staffing orgs. Because they get in over their heads and have a team to support them. But if that's what a community wants, then that means they are qualified. Because the job is to REPRESENT their community. Their job isn't to be a Criminal Justice major to sit in congress and do nothing but vote on climate change.

 

Sure, and folks have every right to use their vote to say "F U" to the system. I wish they wouldn't.

No, they're elected. Our FFs were careful to make sure we had ways to get rid of people who shouldn't have power.

I doubt AOC is smart enough to know she needs help.

No, it means they're elected.

Huh?

 

Your questions make ME question your ability to understand the job of an elected official. I highlighted and underlined your confusion.

Elected officials work FOR the people, for their interests. Or at least that's what they are supposed to do. Who are we kidding. None of them do.

If you voted Biden, then the next four years of criticism will be very fun!
