Maybe as a test. Congress should just all go home for a couple of years to see if the country would "survive" without them "working for us".

I bet we would do fine without them. This has proven to be the case with some of them anyway. For example, John Kerry has not been to work in the Senate for over a year. Lieberman was not around much during the presidential campaign. The other guys in Congress that ran for president were not around much either. Which proves none of them were all that important.

Except in their own minds.................

I couldn't agree w/ you more. The underlying premises and assumptions here are almost silly. As if things couldn't get done w/o a handful of people who often aren't around anyway on votes.

These guys overrate their importance. They may be important to certain procedures, but not necessarily in the daily functioning of the government.

Besides, I wish all of them were on term limits.
