The Ruling Class

[fabsroman]

I was going to say the same thing. Two posters on here have kept a watchful eye on a couple of their representatives that they like because those representatives have voted NO across the board on issues that the Dems favor or they have done special things for their state specifically. That there is the entire issue and where we are having the problem.

We need to compromise on a lot of stuff and pass laws to try new things. We have to be flexible. If the new law turns out to be a POS, then be flexible and get rid of it or modify it. Kind of like letting the assault weapon ban sunset. They tried it, it didn't really do anything, so let it freaking die.

Same thing goes for representatives that do well by their state by getting the porkulus for their state. Please. The question is what are they doing for their nation as a whole. Don't just worry about getting those federal programs, grants, money for your state, figure out how to make the entire nation better. That is where we are right now. We need to focus nationally, and not just in their back yard so that they can tout what they did for the state and get re-elected next term. Don't ask "What did you do for our state, ask what did you do for our COUNTRY".
