;-) -- Mike, Norwalk
I grew up in Georgetown, D.C.. We were ingrained with the pride of Liberty and the power of the People. The ideals of the Declaration of Independence are still ideals -- don't expect Washington to free you, that you must do yourself. -- E Archer, NYC
My expectations have no further to fall. It is now impossible for a politician to disappoint me. -- Ken, Allyn, WA
Every one goes to Washington with the intent of taking over and comes up against a wall of special interest lawyers and 534 other people who want to take over. Congress is a delibeartive body as a whole not someplace where it is easy to take over - Thank God. Consider for a moment Iraq. It has taken us 5 years to get in there and will probably take 5 to get out. The public thinks these things happen instantaneoulsy. -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
Hey you make sense Waffler. The congress was made inefficient for good reason. The longer it takes for them to do something the more likely they will have gained enough sense not to do it. -- warren, olathe
