“I swear, American Revolution Pt II is NOT that far away.”
You cock the cannons again, and I’ll lead the fire teams......
“The House and Senate are designed to be closer to the representation of voters of this country...”
Actually the House is the body with a popular bent and I’d say it’s close to being that way as it is now.
The Senate is more problematic, supposed to represent the state’s interests, with a longer, more deliberative viewpoint. Right now it’s a little shy of Conservatives and led by a criminal majority leader Harry Reid with a half wit President in Joe Biden..... Nov.2012/Jan2013 can’t come soon enough.......
“Lugar blew a 40 year career over support for crap like this.”
Therein lies the core of the problem......”legislator,” “Senator,” or “Representitive,” or “Congressional aide” should never be a career choice/option. We’d be a lot better off with 535+ Joe the Plumbers in the Senate that go back to fixing toilets after a few years service to the nation, than what we have now....The DC commode is overflowing.....2012 should be the year of the plunger!
Right now we have a bunch of fools that don’t know that S**t flows downhill, bite their nails, and think every waking moment is payday.
33 men and Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH):
“I’ll offer some comments...
Our States lose representation.”
Mr Philman, you have stated the case accurately and succinctly in your post. Thank you!
Go Ayotte!
“She was more of a man than any of them.”
My thanks for your comments.
Dictator Obama can issue any dictate that he wants to because he KNOWS that there is not a RINO in Congress who will dare to Impeach him.
Let the bidding begin.
“And as far as Senators being elected by the populace...how do you like your Senator being nothing more than a highly glorified Representative?”
I understand what you are saying and I do believe that Senators are better served by being chosen by the States rather than popular vote.
However, the earlier post stated flatly that this moves the Senate AWAY from the people’s representation. Seems it does the opposite.
Your concerns, then, are not with me.
I was simply offering some comments.
Perhaps the poster simply didn't express themselves in a proper manner and it created confusion.
Did you not read the amended reply at @36? You were in the "To" list.
Yes I do understand. Just wanted to ensure I learned what the issue was, which is allowing a body of elected representatives to select a Senator is better than electing that person directly.
Sounds funny, but so does an electoral college for President, and I dearly support keeping that as well.
All the U.S. senators should oppose LOST, and the Republican senators, who don’t, should be primaried out.
