It Never Fails To Amaze Me How Hard These Legislators Fight To Retain Their Own Cushy Jobs......

They held off for about 4 weeks of constant barrage from RW news and radio. But I basically agree with you.

I will never know.

It is astonishing that they collect all the moolah and goodies and are so astonishingly unethical that they are gone most of the time and spew govmint hate the rest of the time.
