I wonder what political party he is affiliated with. It's really a mystery, isn't it?
You know what really aggravateses me is them immigants. They want all the benefits of living in Springfield, but they ain't even bothered to learn themselfs the langwich!

Not wishing to make an unwarranted assumption, I looked up Sen. Foreman's political party. And yes, of course, he's GOP.
Or you could have, you know, read the article.
I started the article, and didn't immediately see his party affiliation. Looked up the affiliation on Wikipedia, and really didn't need any more information than that, plus the 'go back where you came from' to know that I knew all I needed to know about him. What do you think, Budd Ascrayon?
His political affiliation is stated in the second sentence of the article.
No one has time for a second sentence.
Thanks, you are most helpful.
Talk about thorough.
How does someone like this become senator?
State senator, not real senator.
Racists are allowed to vote and do so en masse
Protest votes.
People in power usually aren't smart. They just have money from their parents or grandparents. This isn't a meritocracy. Idiots rule the world
Additionally, the dumb relate to the dumb (and are easily manipulated), hence why they get votes.
I get that. But you would think that a senator would at one point be in the same room as a history book
Sure, but that's a long way from reading it
and there's only one way to get rid of them
Trick them in to thinking that the senate building is haunted.
Great idea! I’ll go make some spooky ghost costumes!
Lank hair, sunken faces, soulless eyes... you're going to have to try real hard to separate them from the living senators.
All we need is some white sheets!
Great, now they're diverting all the tax revenue to churches to pay for exorcisms.
Don't read in to the fact that the priest receiving all the tax payer money looks like the senator but with a goatee, and you never see them in the same room.
I'm sure that'll work, provided there aren't any meddlesome kids about!
Really makes you question the youth vote.
Pretty sure the mystery gang would help out with such an operation. Remember they mostly dealt with rich people.
