They have to worry about their country not so much of their self-interest.
Ass licking seems to be popular in Congress today. Kissing up to the
Leader's rather than being ostracized for thinking outside the box.
-
That's what I read in the dramatic's of party get togethers. The ones
who really want to make a difference and accomplish a goal - usually
get runover by the house majority at every turn.
-
That's why I've alway hated politics - you gotta kiss or lick someones
ass to even submit another point of view. Congress operates like
maffia at times (at least thats how I see it on occassion). Beat
young minds down and teach them a lesson in formalities of which
their Leader's say they need to first learn.
-
You may be popular at home but in office you're a door mat until
you've completely changed your mind about your issues and join
the club and agree with them. Bushwacked once again a form
of political sensitizing (or brain conditioning).
-
I've noticed they gang up together and confer in little pockets
within their parties - called get togethers - while the other's are left
to their own devices of trying to fit in with long timers concepts.
-
Believe me the old dogs in office know the routine - they've been
there - and done that - only to late become the leader of the pack.
It's their way or the highway - we will now take a vote - you
had better agree with their final revision! Or you may still need
re-education while in office. Sad isn't it!
