Our "Road Map"...

For those historically challenged, which would not include you, my loyal Patriot readers, please allow me, The Chuckmeister, to provide those other folks with a little reminder on how this whole this called America works:

The Bill of Rights to our Constitution specifies how political power shall be divided between the various factions in our society.  It has to do with voting, and representation, and apportionment and laws and the Rights guaranteed us all.  And that "road map" for power distribution has worked quite well for more than 240 years.

The Democrats now want to change it.  Why?  For the purposes of seizing, and retaining, raw political power.  Forever.  

Why?  Because they find themselves with a 50 - 50 Senate and a sparse 6 seat voting majority in the House of Representatives.  And that means they have no mandate to remake our society into the socialist "paradise" they had previously envisioned.  They're trying, but they can't.  And every single time they try, they throw up all over themselves and slink back into their holes.  To sulk.  Over how their own Senators Mansion and Sinema won't go along with their radical remake.  It's their fault!  They've become traitors to the cause!  They need to be sanctioned and heckled and protested and threatened and shamed.

And every time they expose their own fecklessness, their poll numbers go down.  And their impetus to quickly ram through life-altering legislation before they lose power come November becomes even more acute.  They are now eating their own.  And it's a joy to watch...

It must be really frustrating for some Democrats (and about 98% of the "Corporate Media," which serves as their public relations department) who can't quite figure out why two of their own in the Senate are voting against their Party's interests.  

As in, that's the key factor in determining how Senators should vote.

Apparently they've forgotten - or perhaps never learned - that Senators don't represent their Party.  They represent their home state's constituents.  Because a New England state's interests may have nothing at all to do with one out West.  Or one in the South.  Or in the heavily-mechanized upper Midwest.  They are all different.  And thus, each state's two Senators are charged with representing only those interests in the Congress.

A key reality may have been overlooked by Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, and most particularly what's left of Prez Joe O'Biden; 

     Sen. Joe Manchin's West Virginia was carried by Prez Trump in the last Election by more than 35 points!  

That means 85% of West Virginians showed via their votes that they like Republican policies more than those of the Party Manchin represents.  And their other Senator is a Republican!  The only reason they vote in Joe Manchin over and over is because he's quite moderate.  He's a Conservative Democrat.  A so-called "Blue Dog" Democrat.  And there aren't too many of them left.

I think you could count them on the fingers of...one finger.

And, it sure doesn't hurt that his daddy was a two-term Governor of WV, and HE was a two-term Governor of WV.  So, NY Dems trying to shame Mansion into voting against his State's interests is not appreciated.  Frankly, I believe the only reason he doesn't flip Parties and join the Republicans is that he'd then lose all his power and his fame and fade into media obscurity.  No more Mansion on Sunday morning talking head programs.  No more thongs of hangers-on following him everywhere he goes.  No more gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands over every move he makes.    

Think about it... 

And then ask yourself, do you want the folks who are too damn dumb to understand that a Senator won't vote against his or his State's best interests running things?  Too damn dumb to understand not to bite off more than they can chew?

They are right now...
