[QUOTE=nightfighter;977475 There is not one member of Congress that isn't weighing that,
partisan politics, and their own pocketbook into their vote. [/QUOTE]
And threrin lies the problem, NOT the Constitution, but the current elected officials sworn to uphold it.
The Constitution was a pefect document set up by the founding fathers to keep our freedom and liberty,
to be upheld by true statesmen who's sole purpose was to represent the people with honor and integrity.
Sorry to say, men like that don't exist anymore.

I think they exist (Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal), it's just really hard for them to get elected. It's a whole lot easier to get elected by promising people more free stuff than the other guy, especially when the entire media (minus 1 TV station) is basically acting as a PR firm for the guy promising the free stuff. |

You're right, you got me. If Paul Ryan voted for this bill, that must therefore mean that there's no difference between him and Nancy Pelosi. That's what you're saying? If Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi both voted for this bill, they are genetically indentical?
That's just brilliant. |

Wrong. Agree with him or not, Ryan put his head on the chopping block when he came out and proposed cuts to Medicare. He knew he'd get attacked for it, but he did it because he knows it is necessary.
What has Pelosi ever done, that showed that kind of intellectual courage? She's a pro-union nut, who owns hotels that are not allowed to unionize. She claims to be Catholic, yet she has never met an abortion she didn't like. She condemned waterboarding, then it was proven that she signed off on it before it happened.
Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi aren't distinguishable? Then neither are Rachael Maddow and Kate Upton. |

Again the both voted for this current measure. I guess your mind missed that yet again. Neither are different from one another just like a dog is a dog. |
