When you talk to Democrats most of them are not talking about impeachment because they know that the voters don't want to hear about that.

- I would just like to say in response to my friends that my amendment will correct a bipartisan error and, second, that you can't destroy a missile system that doesn't work. I will just conclude by saying that Philip Coyle, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, has said the national missile defense system has become a theology in the United States, not a technology. We may have faith that it works, but we are taught that we have to justify our faith by good works. They don't have any good works connected to this.2 sources2011govinfo.gov
- the independent contractor provision in the Revenue Reconciliation Act will do great damage to employer relations in our country. Millions of Americans would lose health care coverage and pension benefits. Working women would suffer the most. For women, being an independent contractor means much lower wages than male employees in similar jobs. What about health care and pensions? Only 2 percent of women independent contractors have health care and pensions paid by their employers. Women also would lose critical employment protections. Independent contractors are not covered by equal employment opportunity laws. They do not receive family and medical leave. Some employers have misclassified janitors and garment workers to evade minimum wage and overtime laws affecting many low-wage workers who are women. Working women have fought hard to win equal employment opportunity, fair wages, and economic security. The independent contractor provision would be a disaster for them and their families. That is why a coalition of 130 women's organizations is against this measure. Finally, Madam Speaker, the bipartisan budget bill is the wrong vehicle to carry this issue.2 sources1997govinfo.gov

Republicans I talked to, they don't want to run on Trump or this. In the districts that matter, in the districts that are going to make the majority, there are not -- they don't want to be talking about this. They want to talk about taxes.

We are locked into a cultural matrix of thinking which produces violence, and we are shocked when its heartbreaking effects emerge. It's ``us versus them'' thinking, this evocation of enemies, whoever they are. On a global level, this type…
