Those who get elected usually did so because they wanted to get elected. So when they see the polls dive and they get yelled at back home and they get lots of angry phone calls from their district voters, they get scared.
Rush learned what that fear is like first hand.
I am talking about day in day out cowardice. Obama is running his OWN government, and pisses on the Constitution almost daily. Not a peep out of those cowards in D.C. They should have been riding him every day for over 2 years. Had they done so, Obama would either be out, or would have about a 30% approval rating. All they do is lay low, and hope they get re-elected, so they can continue to be treated like royalty.Don’t forget about their BIG FAT PENSIONS!
