After following politics for 5 decades, I have concluded that politicians and hypocrisy are joined at the hips. Only thing which changes is levels of hypocrisy. This is not because they are evil people. It is simply doing and saying whatever it takes to win majority votes, only way they can survive.

For example take the 2 recent filibusters in senate by Cruz and Paul. Both produced no results because they did not have the votes in both the house and senate. Sure If Hensarling ran for SML we would feel good for a while until he loses for lack of votes.

I think he is wise to not chalk up a loss on his resume. You can not win every time in politics. But that is no reason to give up fighting. If we give up there will be zero wins.

What’s SML??? This is the HOUSE we are talking about.

And what conservative would want to be a subordinate on Boehner’s team?
