djp..... you seemed to have missed the point. Congressman Nugent took clear positions on 29 bills that he co-sponsored and I was quite specific in his documented positions on Obamacare, government spending, the national debt and a balanced budget amendment among many others. You may not categorically agree with his positions but he has not been a "Present" legislator in the image of Senator Obama. He has taken positions. To turn your question around, where did he bend to the party line and how do you know he subordinated himself?

Your preaching to the choir about passing bills. In my former life, I have been deeply involved in the drafting and passing of legislation. I understand the system.

Of course, being suspicious by nature, I wonder why Congressman Nugent was singled out by name. Why does a singularly unimpressive Democrat in Independent clothing, John Russell get a plug. Does the Democrat Senator Bill Nelson get a pass by not being named in the post as an incumbent who needs to get the boot? Why?

I gather from your defense that you approve of throwing all the bums out regardless of their individual records. Let's see, if that fairly tale came true.....hmmmm.....there would be........ a Democratic Congress. My, my....how convenient that would be. If I was a Democrat looking to take over the Congress, that might be a good idea. I respect you and Kahuna. My point simply is why a Republican Congressman was singled out by name and a Democratic Senator gets no name recognition as a target for the "voting the bums out" crowd. Wait a minute......the Senate is controlled by Democrats, Bill Nelson is a Democrat. If we could just throw the bums in the House out and leave the bums in the Senate.....we could......fill in the blanks. Fundamental fairness? Machiavellian maneuver?

I know, I know....sometimes my posts are not only out of the box, but off the wall....but I do have fun.

Enjoyed the exchange......have a good day.
