“I don’t care about keeping the majority in the House, or winning the Senate if it means we keep dishonorable people like this up there. Never again.”
The trouble is our view of what’s going on is clouded by being on the outside of a complicated game. Politicians trade their votes like gamblers. They try to amass votes for issues they want to pass while exchanging heir yes vote to issues they’d like to fail in exchange. That’s how the game is played. So, from the outside we don’t know what they really want. (If they have any guiding philosophy other than staying in office, that is.)
Only over time and many issues does a pattern that we can read emerge. How many times did he vote for something we don’t like that failed versus how many times he voted for something we’d like that passed?
A complicated game. Yes, a game of lies, deceit and maneuvering coupled with predetermined “Show Votes” for the idiots back home who are easy to fool. Isakson and Chambliss have played this game for years.
I’m done with it. I won’t vote for Isakson, nor will I vote for the Chambliss/GOP selected candidate to replace Chambliss.
The so true saying about power corrupts is so true. We are too far down the road, but we need term limits. It seems that very few people we send to D.C. are able to withstand the lure and stay true to why they went and to who they represent.
I think our forefathers never intended for us to be represented by people who made a living at politics, who spent their whole lives there. A political ruling class.
