To where will we dig our tunnels, to where will we fly the balloons?
That’s the whole point of our complaint: it is a sneak attack in which the purpose of the health care bill will be concealed as much as possible.
Indeed!
But with God’s help, we WILL pull out of this.
Be safe.
Has anyone mentioned Teddy Roosevelt?
>>to say, but whenever the House and Senate vote a bill into law then our government has worked as designed. Each House and Senate member will represent their constituency in their vote, and they’ll be considering their next election.<<
Sorry to say, Congress does NOT represent their constituency! They don’t care one bit about you and I. Try writing to them. IF you get an answer, it is all about them and zero about your concerns. Try calling their offices. You get either Miss Perky, who doesn’t know squat (and cares less) or Ms Know-it-all, who knows everything about everything and can’t be bothered talking to us.
Congress has become the royalty and the abuse we fought against 234 years ago. What are we going to do about it?
Most will stay home, glued to the idiot box, watching this week’s “Dancing with the Stars”.
Nice graphic!
re: nthockey: “congress does not represent their constituency”
I agree with your individual points but in the final analysis voters freely select their representatives. If we don’t pay attention and select crummy ones, the blame has to fall on “we”.

Even the “crummy ones” are sworn to uphold the Constitution - or so they swear. They are paid by taxpayer money, so if they represent anyone else, they are taking money under false pretenses.
So, in addition to being crummy, they are liars and thieves.
So how about we make these crummy liars and thieves unemployed?

Amen to that. First, find some good candidates. In Prince Biden’s duchy of Delaware, we have a decent candidate in Christine O’Donnell. But the GOP is backing the 70 yr old RINO, Mike Castle. Castle has already said he doesn’t want a primary; they’re “too divisive”.
The RATs will probably run the Prince’s son, Lord Beau, whose main claim to fame has been that he is the state AG. Trouble is he hasn’t been on the job. He’s been in Iraq with a bunch of other lawyers dreaming up ROE’s.
What is one supposed to do with a lineup like that?
It’s time for a takeover of the GOP at the local level. The RINO’s need to be shown the door, and conservatives need to be working to achieve that.
