    Same with my area. We have enough negative political ads going on now, now the Republicans are running an ad with the rep's office phone number to call. I gotta see this and isn't even my rep, but someone from a neighboring district.

    Don't disagree. Just don't ever remember seeing these in non-election years in the past.

    With all the money being raised to run for President, the Dems really should have had someone start a PAC that would have been encouraging people to call their representatives/Senator and ask them if they're ok with the President's behavoir, immigration policy, and self-dealing with the Ukraine. The GOP runs these ads all the time - dark money funded hit jobs. And I imagine for a lot of Fox viewers who never see an opposing point of view - catching one of these ads during a break of NCIS or Dancing with the Stars might be effective.

    Sorry, but what in the world are you talking about here?

    Bush Backs Ban in Constitution on Gay Marriage

    Voters pass all 11 bans on gay marriage

    Where does the line between "getting gay marriage bans on the ballot in 11 states to drive turnout in the 2004 election" cross over into actual hatred? Because he didn't advocate sending gay people to reassignment camps like Pence?

    I'm baffled by this statement.

    The constitution amendment even passed in Oregon. Bill Clinton advocated for the Defense of Marriage Act - even Obama wasn't exactly leading the charge for gay marriage - if anything Biden let the cat out of the bag and forced the administration's hand.
    With most issues - the impact on individuals isn't the priority - it is what will help them politically. A lot of people thought civil unions would be "enough." Once people realized the ground wouldn't open up and swallow Vermont whole - they realized gay marriage wasn't the terror that they were told it was.

    My phone call was perfect. Now, I'm just gonna block everyone from testifying about it after failing to bury the record of it.

    I would love to know what newspaper he's reading there.
    It actually looks like the NY Post.

    Obama did it, so it must be reversed.

    Treasury Department officials are considering rolling back a tax rule aimed at preventing American companies from moving money offshore to avoid U.S. taxes, according to several people familiar with discussions.
