I had written:
"1. Readers, are your state senators and representatives really more conservative than voters in general when it comes to regulating and spending?"

John Valentine replied:
"Wrong Question. The question ought to be whether or not the state legislators are more or less conservative regarding deficit spending, debt and regulation that the Washington Beltway crowd. Answer YES, they are."

Wrong answer. The anti-Constitution herd has often written its desire to repeal the 17th Amendment in order to give state legislators exclusive power to appoint senators to Congress instead of elections of senators by voters in the states. The "Washington Beltway crowd" has nothing to do with it except for their partnerships with members of state assemblies and their boss constituents (see pork, etc).

You may be the only person in the world who believes this crap.

Excuse me, I should have said “nonsense”. Just to elevate the tone slightly.
