Could someone walk into the US Senate and shake the shit out of them?

What world are they living in? They were asleep when Bush and Cheney lied us into Iraq and now they are trying the same old script with Iran. Where are our Senators and Representatives?? Stand up to this insanity. We don't want our country to drop nuclear weapons on anyone! Get it? Wake up! If you can't do your jobs, resign and get the hell out of town.

9. Military-Industrial Corporations PAY THEM TOO @#$%^&* WELL!!!

4. Can't. They spew so much shit in their daily operations...

5. Them who? The janitor's?

That place is still open?

6. Hey. They're doing their job as paid corporatist schmucks

That paltry salary the taxpayers give them? Their great medical coverage we pay for? That's NOTHING compared to the private jet trips, "campaign contributions" and promises of million dollar a year jobs after they retire from congress.

They don't work for US silly. They work for the corporations!!!!

I don't understand why that is so hard to figure out.

They are doing EXACTLY what they are paid by the highest bidder to do.

7. Right. They can make much more in the "private" sector....

but they stand less chance of going to jail if they are US Senators...

[Neil Lisst]

8. Yes, but there wouldn't be anything left but comb overs and wingtip shoes

if you did walk into the Senate and shake the shit out of them

10. As Mark Twain said...

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

and

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
