But I am leaning closer to that idea as time goes on. As for this particular Congressman, we (our Tea Party) tried really hard to get him out of there in this last primary, but didn't pull it off. This guy has a ton of banking money behind him and the conservative who went up against him didn't have anything close to the campaign money of the incumbent. The other board members were not as tuned in as I was at that moment. One of them was all about schmoozing the Congressman and the other one was more concerned with gun rights. <br /><br />The thing everyone heard and tuned into was the Congressman saying that there are bills coming to him he just won't consider...and the ones he does consider are 3 parts what he wants and 2 parts what he doesn't want. So that tells me every single bill is watered down and corrupted to the point of being worthless. He acted like he is just coasting along and voting for a lot of things he really isn't keen on...but that is the way it is done. ??? To me, that means we might as well just throw in the towel unless or until something fixes that. And how that happens? No one knows.<br /><br />So there you are, Jim. I came away pretty discouraged for future hope of fixing Congress. Crumbs. Not what I was hoping to hear...that is for sure.Cheryl Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894307477506374497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215147935611201277.post-18007523650572882002012-08-10T12:24:58.218-07:002012-08-10T12:24:58.218-07:00Possible the greatest error our Founders made was ...Possible the greatest error our Founders made was not putting term limits on all ellected officials and judges. sounds as if your congressman has been feeding at the trough of Republican statism and maybe he has also fallen for the global warming scam. How did your other board members react to that comment? It may not be too soon to start looking for the congressman's replacement in the next primary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
