Couldn't agree more!!!! Washington DC is what's wrong with America. These peeps are so far out of touch, it's not possible for them to think like a normal human being. They are all driven by what they THINK the general public perceives of them. I believe that less than 5% of our congress/senate critters actually consider "is this good for america" over "how will the media portray me" in signing any legislation. If we could just eliminate that... Should be so easy, Is this good for America???? Yes or No!!!! No other consideration needed!!!! Hell, we should do like Texas does, congress and senate are UNPAID positions. They get per diem, that's it!!!

Public elected positions at all levels should be a sacrifice, not a stepping stone to riches (Owl Gore comes to mind). Woot Woot
