The votes were counted before the announcement was made. Let this be the one thing needed to jumpstart Republicans. The truth is now out. The other side does not want or need cooperation. We must be stand firm and show what was being led up to. Remember what English teachers told us about our writing: Show. Don't tell. Be specific. Don't generalize. Conservatives must be very specific with opposition and not just say, "The liberals...." (Fill in the blank with the specific thing they have done.) Conservatives must vote to oppose, no matter if they think it won't matter. The Record will show what has been done.
