(12,882 posts)You HAVE TO wonder how many of these dolts ACTUAL constituents have written or called to urge them to do this on their behalf! I'd PAY to see a dozen legitimate pleas from regular citizens (not arms makers or security mercenaries!) asking them to intervene. Christ, how long will we have to suffer the demented endeavors of the aging fruitcakes???
