They should see me and all their constituents. That is why they are elected. Your local senator must be a good guy. I had a local rep who did the same. I told hmi he was a pig when all was taken care of and he laughed..............as did I. Good guy..........a dem..............and I vote for him not because of what he did for me but he's a good guy. Hard to find em nowdays. You don't think sheet comes into play then don't. Your being obtuse though.

OK I dont know about your guy, but mines pretty busy doing his job, and he really did help me a lot, and MANY others. I'm far from alone in this guy doing his job. And when I see Ron Wyden putting the question to the NSA folks and calling them out I am really appreciative of him. But I have seen a few other senators who only know you when they are looking at re-election.

Who is your guy?

Speaking from an undisclosed location, Pakistani Taliban commander Abdullah Bahar said the attack was retaliation for the death of former chief Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in November in North Waziristan.

7 more bodies found after Pakistan airport terrorist attack - CNN.com
We were discussing Afghanistan and US forces, how did we jump to Pakistan.

That is not our country by the way

"My guy" is a state rep. He got me on the news when the state tried to steal my kids for what happened in our daycare. That is why I will vote for him every day of the week because he took the time to help out. Most don't. He is out of office now............as folks don't care.

Somehow, trading one guy who deserted his mission for five who are fanatically committed to theirs doesn't seem like a fantastic trade.
Not so fast we celebrated the release of the soldier from the Taliban today in front of the White House, I guess Fox News forgot to mention it on the news tonight.
