Vote to remove George Santos fails in the House.

a reply to: WeMustCare

Would the 100,000 have voted for him if they knew he was wanted for crimes in S.America? That he stole thousands of dollars? That he has had multiple names and scams? The person they voted for was not real. He was the fraudulent part of the election.

Poll: 78% of Santos' voters want him to resign

And that's from the beginning of the year. I can only imagine that percentage came close to 100% by today.

Had this been wildly known he would not have even been the republican candidate and another republican would have been voted in.

Probably, but for WMC to post that he's there because of the will of the people, yes he was voted in, but he was a fraud and they didn't know. So now he has to stay? Nah.

Has to Stay?

It was the will of the people to put him there.

It should be the will of the people to remove him.


So no he doesn't have to stay; he just shouldn't be removed by anyone but his constituents .... assuming you believe in democracy.

Does that same sentiment hold for Presidents?

Yes it does.

The constituents for presidents is the entire countries population. The constituents express their desires through their representatives.

The constituents express their desires through their representatives.

tell me when was the last time your senator or representative called you up and asked you your desire on a certain matter.
cuase i know none of mine ever have for the past 40 years and ever asked me anything.

they pander to their constituents, they vote with their wallet or which ever way their party does.

I don't think you understand how representative democracy works.

You vote for a person to represent you in your absence, and if you don't like how they have represented you, then you get rid of them. They aren't expected to ask your opinion on every matter; that would make them a tabulator, not a representative.

C'mon man....they still want us to believe 81 million voted for Biden.

a reply to: Threadbarer

653 NY03 registered voters

and they were not all Republicans polled...so...uhm....nope.

Voters that say they voted for Santos in November say that he should resign by 58-34%. While those that voted for Democrat Robert Zimmerman support resignation by 94-4%, those that say they voted for “another candidate” – there wasn’t one - and those that refused to say who they voted for, support Santos resigning by 75-10%

I'm glad to see him gone. He was a stink'n mess. BUT ... he was elected in and this could be a precedent to start getting rid of people instead of listening to the constituents who sent their chosen person to DC. So I have mixed feelings about it.

It's a Republic....different setof rules.

However, I thought Santos represented the GOP like they wanted. Perhaps they cut him loose because he was a thief.

You want us to believe that Trump got 74 million votes despite consistently having one of the lowest approval ratings in history and the election being in the middle of a pandemic that he bungled?

If Trump can get 74 million votes, I see no reason why Biden couldn't get 81 million.

i understand exactly how it's suppose works, your the one who doesn't to understand santos is not looking out for his constituents. he's has always been looking out for himself. just like 95% of the elected reps and senators who when they go to DC and make 174,000 dollars and with a few years your worth millions your not looking out for for your constituents.

to continue to let him stay in the seat with what has been said he did before, and during his run that is provable known he's done and not be expelled is a crime against the american people.

their not booting him for two reasons.

republicians don't want to loose any of their majority
both dems one and republicans know that if he is every one of them can be if found out they are crooks

"A crime against the American people" .... WTF?

Santos represents one district in one state. The population of NYs 3rd is ~742k people. (~0.2% of the American people)

If Santos sitting as a congressmen is a crime; its a crime against 742K people... not all of the American people.

I realize the internet and social media has made communication between distant locations easier; and that the centralization of news media makes it appear that every issue that comes up any where in the world directly impacts us; but let us not let that delude ourselves into aggrandizing our place in the world.

No; Santos being or not being a congressmen only impacts NYs 3rd. It should have been for them to remove him before the aligations against him are adjudicated in a court of all. What we have instead is self serving congressmen disenfranchisimg a district they have no ties to or obligation to serve over what you your self discribe as "what has been said he did".

"A crime against the American people" .... WTF?

and everything he voted for effects every U'S. citizen, not just his district.
so yeah a crime against the U.S. people.

a reply to: Dandandat3

Recall of elected officials is not permitted in New York. So the only remedy his constituents had to remove him from office was him getting expelled.

The crime against the American people was SANTOS lying to his constituents to try and satisfy his pitiful ego and run for office.

If their is any blame to be placed...it's not on the people that voted for him or those that threw his ass out.

a reply to: lilzazz

yeah it could be seen that way, i personally think he was in it for, was to steal as much money as he could.

he's facing 23 charges from before and during his run, most involved some sort of theft.
