They were elected to and are paid to represent We the people. They dont do that, ever


...and their answer is always "well, then, control that at the ballot box" knowing the ratio of the constituency who are ignorant on their vote on issues vs those who are keen them falls overwhelmingly on the side of ignorance. AKA, I'll win the election whether you vote for me or not, as long as I keep telling the ignorants what they want to hear.


experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....
