HAS NOT YET DONATED TO THE FUND-DRIVE FOR SKINS'S ISLAND! :hammer:

Note to Freshmen: the trouble with Washington politics is POLITICS. You'll find this out quickly.
   
These freshman fools think they're going in to "shake things up." Then they learn their office is in a janitor's closet in the basement -- unless they're willing to sign on to Rep. Schmoe's bill seeking a million dollars for a knitting needle museum in Iowa. They find they're not on the guest list to the big cocktail party with the President because they didn't back Rep. Jackwagon's bill to increase funding for carpet fiber research. Unless they play along with the old entrenched douchebags like Mitch McConnell and John Boehner (and, to be fair, Dem leaders, too), they find they're totally powerless. They not only can't "shake things up," they can't even get a meeting with their leaders. They're not on any committees. They're total 100% nobodies, whose only role becomes voting for all the bullshit the entrenched ones put to the floor. It's called "POLITICS." Using your power/position to advance your goal. When you have no power or position, "shaking things up" is virtually impossible in Washington.

It won't change without a fundamental change in the entire system, which, face it, ain't gonna happen. Hey Mr. Freshman...are YOU going to be the guy who stands up and says you want to get rid of Congressional health care, franking privileges, private underground subways, etc? You gonna do it? Go for it...and enjoy your two years in the janitor's closet eating take-out while your colleagues enjoy the "good life" that is Inside Washington.

Only two primitives have found this campfire so far.

2. You got it. I was reading about that dumb ox Runyan this morning whining about all the reading he has to do, and I thought the exact same thing. Quite a few of these teabaggers are going to find out that they're in WAY over their pretty little heads.
We'll find out soon enough, huh superduperfarleft DUmmie? At least the Tea Party people will be working for the people, not against them.

What, because their messiah couldn't change things, nobody else could possibly pull it off?

If Pedro believes what he wrote, then he just admitted he was a fool for voting for Dear Leader seeing that he was promised "change" and "a new tone in Washington, D.C."

Poor Pedro; politically perpetually locked in the janitor's closet in the basement with no take-out.

Yeah, Pedro's a big aficiando of Oriental food, so he'd miss that.

But he'd miss television even more.

And what's it's point?

If I have been honored by the people of my district to represent them in Washington, and I get there and find my office is a broom closet, guess what?  American flag over there, Gadsden over there (to remind me why I'm here), portraits of Washington and Reagan on the wall (even if they're teeny little 4x6s), and every day I go to the House to do my Constitutional duty, and every night (instead of going to boozy schmooze-fests) I go home to sleep the sleep of the just.

For I am a Representative, and done properly, that has as much to do with Politics as it has with Equestrianism.  Or Rocketry.

Of course, in saying all this I speak as one who need not match word with deed.  I have not been elected to anything.
