Haridopolos’ new stance was widely interpreted in the state Capitol as an election-season play for voters in his bid for U.S. Senate - - ....etc...

Well seeing as how the last election was 3 months ago and the next one 21 or so months away, this confirms what WE ALREADY KNOW, they are always in campaign mode.
How can they do their job properly if always campaigning?
I guess in a ‘perfect world’ your day to day performance should be enough ‘campaigning’ but the Unions have already deemed that performance should have absolutely no bearing on your future.
“You get into the position and we will try and guarantee you will never leave your position....just keep the money coming”
Government has become so big that these politicians don’t know their constituents. They have a calendar set up by staff, speeches written by staff, questions to ask at hearing drawn up by staff. Leadership provides staff to newly elected officials. They bring back what is necessary to keep the campaign cash flowing into their reelection war chests.
Lobbyists go hat in hand to Capital Hill and seek audience with these people to offer tribute and beg that they be left free of more laws. It’s a government shakedown of business.
To change this is like trying to change the spots on a leopard. They only way to get these guys by the short hairs is to dry up their campaign money and put your money and muscle behind someone who will do what needs to be done for those paying their freight.
They all appear to be guns for hire.
Just like, not liking asshole lawyers until you need one.
