...Bald fact: If these people are idiots, a country can go to hell in a hurry...

In the last two decades, I've met about thirty congressmen and senators. I have to say without exception I wouldn't hire any of them for minimum wage work. They were idiots to a man. But they were all democraps.

I think we're on our way to hell, but we've lasted a lot longer than might be expected.

I recently had the opportunity to meet my Congressional Representative. He is a "Conservative Republican" who typically wins his district by a vote of 85% Rep - 15% Libertarian. No Demoncrat in the race. He was much the same as you describe.

He used his "Office Manager" as a butler and explained away his "Yes" vote on the "atrocious" Farm Bill because "It was going to pass anyway."

Made me want to puke!

Adding to what you say I heard ex-rep. Bob Dornan a short while back say - "Now that I'm out of congress I can say this. There are a few really intelligent gifted people in the congress, Doctors, lawyers, etc. But 90% of those folks up on the hill couldn't earn $35,00 a year in the real world." He was saying that is why they are so intent on making a career out of congress with its 150 plus Grand a year plus bennies and graft (he didn't say graft though - I added the obvious).
