“It’s far easier than you think to manipulate a nation of naive, self-absorbed sheep who crave instant gratification’”

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Let’s hear it for the self-absorbed sheep! Pogo was right!

Rush has been telling us exactly these truths for the last 20 years. Why is this a revelation now?

1. I wouldn’t put it past a Sanders supporter to have released this as an indictment of Washington and, by association, Clinton.
2. A Congressman doesn’t have to read all the bills - but one of his many staffers could and should before giving him a summary.
3. I can’t say this isn’t put out by a Trump functionary, either, to condemn Washington as usual to hurt the RINOs and Democrats in one swoop.

I think they need to go to four-year terms.

Perhaps 80% of Representatives should have to have fully read a bill in its current version (excluding language dealing with appropriations)before a vote can be held.

As for appropriations, a President should have line item veto power.

'My main job is to keep my job, to get reelected. It takes precedence over everything.'

Should I write a letter to my congressman?

A congressman has two ends
a sitting end and a thinking end

Since his whole success depends on keeping his seat
why bother, friend?
