Lots of us thought we had some new Congressmen with spine and principle. No. We have a new crop of Republican weasels. What good is a vote when most of your new congressmen turn around and give you the finger as soon as they take their seats? They get rich in two years and lose their elections. The new guy so full of principle and promise sees that it is better to get rich and be popular for two years than to work for his constituents or the good of the nation. After two years, if h e loses his seat, he gets hired by the sponsors he fed with special legislation and stays rich. he doesn’t really need the congress job any more. If he instead holds to principle and demonstrates spine he doesn’t get rich. It is a matter of incentive and character. There is plenty of incentive and most people’s character is for sale, especially politicians.
