Perhaps one of them will have the decency to propose a 'cut' in congressional pay when they return in the next session. It's the least they can do during a national emergency and in light of this. But, alas, perhaps there isn't a decent one among them....

You reckon they will have a change of heart since Nov. 13?

I don't agree with Ron Paul's anti-war rhetoric, but otherwise I think he's quite a decent guy. If anyone were to propose such a "cut," it'd be a good bet it would be him. Too bad the rest of Congress hardly ever votes for his "right-wing extremist" bills.
