If your job entails weighing matters in a critical and thoughtful way

[Maraya1969]

in order to make decisions that help or at the very least do not hinder the growth and well being of a group of people and/or property you do not.........

sign a stupid childish pledge saying you will vote in a certain way 100% of the time dependent on no thought of or consideration to the subject at hand.

Or as my mother used to say, "If they told you to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge would you do that too?"

All of these bought for souls are jumping off of the Brooklyn Bridge because they do not have the intestinal fortitude or the basic brain power to realize how ridicules it is to not take another stand and say, "Not this time"

Making important decisions involves thought, introspection and individualism not robotic behavior. Why are these robots in our government?

1. Some really dumb misguided people voted for them is why...

2. What about promising to never touch Medicare or social security?

[Maraya1969]

3. That would not be bright except to qualm people's fears and the reason

is what if something better comes along? Like a great public option instead of the regular medicare?

I can't think of anything better than SS but that doesn't mean there might be something that could happen in the future that would give people more.

8. You would if your boss said you have to.

And these people's bosses are the people who finance their campaign, and a relatively small base of insane people backing their political movement (who have been convinced to do so by those same people who finance their campaigns).

10. Perhaps they think their job entails the well-being of a different group of people

than the one we're thinking of.
