While watching CSpan yesterday they were debating a bill to pour more dollars into mass transit. I got to wondering how the majority of CongressCritters and their staff get to work. Do you think they utilize DC's mass transit system?
Isn't Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas?
Yes. She’s not my Representative.
I am from CA and if DiFi and Boxer never went to work it would be too soon for me, ditto my wonderful Governor and the whole CA legislature.
To pick a nit, you used the plural term “representatives” I assumed you were talking about the whole Texas group.
I should have said my 2 Senators and Congressman.
It's sort of funny because whenever people I know have a problem getting something they want from a government agency I suggest that they call their Representative's office and let them handle it. I generally add that they are eager to do favors for people because the favors generally build loyalty which turns into votes. This has obviously worked in your case.
I am always mindful that they are doing these favors with other people's money. It doesn't seem to bother you that while these guys draw a salary that isn't enough for them so they vote to have us peons pay for their cars and their gas and their gyms and their restaurants and their junkets and their pensions and their megastaffs and probably a lot more that I didn't think of. It doesn't seem to bother you, but it bothers me.

Karol Che Porter uses a broom..
Di-Fi and Boxer are broom-riders, sometimes they carpool to reduce carbon foot-prints!
As I said, my Representatives do a good job for me.
So they can do anything they want, right?

Yep, they are broom riders but I am going to nail good old Difi. Last year I sent her an email protesting her anti-gun stance and she had an email(I know full well she didn’t send it herself)sent that explained that owning a gun was a collective right and individuals didn’t have that right as it had never been upheld by the Supremes. Well, now I am going to send her a copy of her email along with a little note asking her what she says now that the Supremes have ruled that it is an individual right. I will be as crappy as I can be and get away with it.
LOL!!! You want to keep changing the subject to which I originally commented on.
My Representatives do a good job for me. You have a problem with that? They should perhaps do a crappy job for me? That would make you happy?
The Austrian Governor has beat the hell out of his elephant and travels daily by GulfStream Jet. He needs to reduce his ‘carbon footprint’ and perch his terminator butt upon a donkey dragged by his lgbt staff.
Why waste your time on her, it won’t make any difference. There are better ways to influence people, election outcomes, and alter liberal worldviews, if that is your goal.
Listen Sherlock. Go ply your crap on DU. It doesn't work around here. In your first post to me on this thread you wrote:
My Representatives work for me and do a good job. I hope they drive Hummers.This was in response to my pointing out that we the taxpayers pay for your Representatives car. The only way to read you post quoted above is, "I don't care if he gives himself expensive perqs with other people's money so long as he delivers for me." We're in real trouble because the majority of voters feel just as you do.

Look cry baby, you jumped into the thread where I was replying to someone else. My Representatives are damn fine Conservatives with damn fine voting records.
Go whine to someone who cares...
The way things work here at FR is that if you post something, especially something stupid, other members here can call you on it. That's what I did. You say you want all the Congresscritters to drive expensive cars. I point out that we the people pay for those cars, and you say this is changing the topic and besides it doesn't matter because your Congresscritters are such wonderful people. Well, to me and most others here, it does matter. If you don't like my pointing out the idiocy in your comments, I suggest you find some other place to play.

My Representatives are damn fine Conservatives with damn fine voting records. I like that.
Get over yourself.
You're a real smart guy!

While traveling back and forth to DC for various work assignments, I’ve seen a few back benchers on the Metro wearing their Congressional pins. Never Reid or Pelosi though.
