[QUOTE=gomoho;740672]"If our chambers vote on how they feel in their hearts, without any consideration to fall out or political consideration I respect all of them. If anyone is playing politics of any kind, lets look at getting rid of them."
"Bucco - I thought they were supposed to vote what "WE" feel in our hearts - not what they fell in their hearts. "
Yes and no in my opinion. The vote is so important because in theory you should vote for the person who will vote the closest to how you feel. That will never be infallible....but if you do your homework, whomever you vote for should be close.
That is because, as a poster pointed out but for a different reason, they have access to things we do not. I am certainly not trying to get them off the hook in anyway, an they have the town halls to hear us, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, we need to do our homework before we vote. All votes do not get this much attention.
I am more concerned and will never forget...ever...our representatives turning this country upside down and voting on bills that become law that they do not even read....they just follow instruction.
But thanks for bringing that up....that always makes an interesting discussion.
