Honest question, actually.
Been following the Reid fight for his seat. How he's touted how he brings home the federal bacon and that his opponent would cut off the .gov teat, so to speak. One of his supporters secretly tapes his opponent and it gets released. Interestingly enough, his opponent gains in the lead, btw. And I see Lisa doing the same thing, over the last week. At least that is what I see. Much to think about. |

Quoted: I think its the engrained elietist mentality that the "seat" is theirs and they will pander to any audience to get it I don;t think it's that. It's just that it's very lucrative to be one of 100 people controlling the trillions of dollars that Congress takes in and spends. She and Reid want to keep their position in that game by hook or by crook. Lisa especially stands to benefit if the GOP takes over and she's on Appropriations and is the chairman of the Energy Committee. That, and the animus against Palin for what she did to the Murkowskis TWICE is what's driving her I think. My idea would to shrink the amount of money passing through Congress, which would reduce the attraction of getting into public service for all the opportunities for graft. |
