3. Noticed that did you?
They need to spend a lot of time with their constiuents to get "the pulse of the nation". Well pulse this you assholes! If they have not figured it out by now there is no hope, they are willfully ignorant.

My rep and senators are no where to be found. They are probably on a walking tour of Rome or on a beach in the Carribean right now.
