They do nothing, they talk and talk and talk and talk...I am getting ready to delete CSPAN 2 from my Tee Vee.

How is it that the founding fathers thought these 100 punks can have so much power? or is it that they have some internal club rules that make them such lazy assholes?

Here is a list of things that come to mind:

1) All of them standing up to welcome Ted Stevens after he was indicted
2) All of them giving Vitter a big hand after his prostitute story
3) 60 votes rule? Isn't Democracy the majority +1?
4) Sotomayor's hearings/debate...All kind of time wasted talking, when she already has the votes!!!
5) The Senate finance committee government masturbation for the past 10 weeks!!! (health care bill)

I can go on and on...


The United States Senators are a bunch of mother fucking elitists. They have the easiest job in the world, and you don't have to be smart to do what they do...

What happens if we abolish the Senate? Can someone tell why these people/jobs exist? Why can't the other 435 Congress people make laws and pass crap? Seriously, is there a logical reason to have these government positions?

I want to lay off 100 Senators and close their offices, how much would we save?



















P.S. I would like to exempt Senator Franken from this rant, he is too new.

:rant:
