The problem with idiots like Hagel (my senator) is that they and the dimwits in the house have bought into this concept of being "an independent thinker". This is the label that the rats give them and the press repeats. The rats would never consider electing a Hagel for president and the "independent thinker" term says that they will vote for whatever they want without regard to the desires of those who elected them.

We have a representative republic (NOT a F'n democracy) and we elect representatives to "Represent"

rep·re·sent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rpr-znt)
tr.v. rep·re·sent·ed, rep·re·sent·ing, rep·re·sents

To serve as the official and authorized delegate or agent for.
To act as a spokesperson for.

This means to vote in line with our values and ideas and desires of how the government will be run. This also means that the lamebrains put aside their own ambitions and vote the opinions of their constituents, not their personal points of view. They are supposed to be a proxy for the majority of their constituents. We need to repeal the amendment that made senators elected officials rather than state governor appointed officials.

There is no room for that kind of logic.
