Suggested Rules
- In an effort to keep things clear, if your comment is about a certain Senator, please include the Senator's name in the title of your comment.
- No Images. None. Please do not post images. Live threads get long, and with images posted refresh times get excruciatingly slow. If you really want to post an image, post it in an open thread and post a link to the open thread comment here. It will help significantly. If you post an image here, it will likely get troll rated.
Quotes
