Whilst reading about the Socialist House vote to Nationalize, (read "bailout"), the Big, (not so much anymore, I think), 3, and the Capitalist Senate vote that stopped it in its tracks, I came across a CNSNews.com article by Staff Writer Josiah Ryan, with the following passage:
"Although the House passed the bill 237-170 on Wednesday, the Senate defeated it 52-35 Thursday night."
I'm not the sharpest tool in the box, but we have 435 representatives, and 100 senators.
Why did only 407 representatives and 87 senators cast votes on this? Not important enough for them? Covering their hind-quarters somehow?
It may not be illegal for citizens not to vote, but I think all of the people that are elected to represent the people in Washington have a sworn responsibility to carry out that mandate.
Where were they?...Who are they, that care so little about their constituants? What was more important then this vote?
This is why people think Washington is a joke.
