3. They make over 100K a year, they don't really care. |
|
I think the number of "public servants" that actually *care* are very low. They care about being right, and they care about keeping their position, but how many of them actually care about what happens to the little people?

35. My Senator, Sherrod Brown, cares. |
|
He could go into the private sector and make far, far more than he does in Washington. He's trying to make a difference in the lives of people that aren't millionaires.
"They're all the same!" is a right-wing meme.

8. Murkowski has been a lot more moderate ever since the GOP tried to take her seat ... |

6. That was an awesome commentary from her |
|
Snarking about 'meeting in the dark in the middle of the night to vote" being "how dignified".
That was brilliant. :D

10. Do you remember her re-election |
|
history last year? Losinng the primary to a teabagger and than runnning as a write-in candidate? Though in fairness she has always been quite reasonable and every now then even voted with the Ds if I remember correctly.

11. It's okay to take a pee break now. Kay Bailey Hutchison is up. |
|
:boring:
She's not a very good reader, and her staff doesn't give her very good notes.

One of the 4 self-proclaimed teahadists from the Hezbollah wing of the Republican Party.
Rand Paul, Jim DeMint and one other (Vitter?) are the Senate Teahadist caucus.
