Go ahead, the damage is likely done.
Does anyone here really think that yelling at one of these people is going to change their minds? All you are doing is galvanizing the idea in their heads that we are all a bunch of crazy idiots that have no decorum. Yes there are some reps and sens that are not going to change their minds and deserve it but it has been well known that Nicholson is one of the ones that was publicly on the fence and was leaning against a couple of the bills.
Dudley from RMGO has done a few good things and a few stupid things. This was one of the stupid ones along with the crazy Chinese lady at the committee hearing last week. Did he think he was going to get one of those stirring patriotic you tube videos out of her? Getting someone to change their vote through intimidation is a losing tactic.
If you think reasoning works on politicians, think again. Threat of losing election, backdoor deals, and so on have worked. Reasoning not so much.
It looks like her handler is well in charged of her. Her handler did say "I will end this meeting..." not we nor 'Senator may be forced to end this meeting.. etc' Her handler ultimately has the senator ears imho. So yes, I agree with the rest of the folks here. They need to know we are serious. They need to understand that their jobs are under threat. Keep up the pressure.
In all fairness... If you weren't at the meeting it would be difficult to tell who was actually speaking. RMGO could have made it a bit more clear in the introduction to the video, but that wouldn't get people as riled up. I'm pretty sure that was the intention of the video.
OK, you guys are right.. we will find out Monday.
Judging by the fact the senator can't seem to control her handler, she doesn't deserve an ounce of respect from the people she took an oath to serve. If she won't state her stance on the issue this late in the game, she's already made up her mind, she just chose to avoid a lynch mob that day.
Anyone seen or heard anything from Senator Nicholson today? Bet she voted for all the bills, no matter how nice we were to her.
