On his remark of ‘corruption’ because these people leave office and go to work for the lobbyist firms etc...

I remember back in the 60’s or possibly the 70’s, legislation was passed that stopped retiring Military types from going to work for the people they were involved with just prior their retiring.

The ‘game’ basically was the Retiring Gen/Adm etc would write the specs for a job, retire on Fri, then Monday show up at the same office with his new job.

That had been going on for years but I guess they figured it got so blatant they had to stop the practice.

There was a long term Senator in 2012 (Lugar R IN) that was running and it was disclosed that his ‘home’ was in Virginia and he just went back ‘home’ for elections and campaigning.

Really can’t blame the Senator for that, just the voters and the ‘machine’ that kept sending him back to represent people he had no connection to.

Also, how many actually go back ‘home’ when their terms are up? Probably enough to kind of figure they are ‘Afraid’ to face the people they have be misrepresenting all those years.

CAN WE START HANGING THE "FAREWELL NANCY" BANNERS NOW? Look at 'em----eleven Democrats (to date) lock-stepping their way to retirement---absconding to no-show jobs. Scared stiff of the mess Obamacare got them into. Soon to be powerless....in the minority pit when voters get a crack at 'em.

===========================================

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act :

OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have your choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1940's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dumbos marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

=================================

SIGNING "THE BIG EFFIN' DEAL" (now known as "The Big Effin Debacle")

"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."

" All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could:
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes."

"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."

=====================================================

I devoutly believe that Obamacare will be chronicled in history as a blunder of Ceausescuian proportions.

Boobamba’s signature legislation —— formerly touted as his main “accomplishment” -—— has been an unmitigated disaster.
