Since the latest crisis in government, I have been watching alot of CSpan. We have one channel for the House of Reps and another for the Senate. I really enjoy seeing the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Senators are 10 times sharper. They seem like Millionaires and are more like the people you would see at a Fortune 500 Company in the executive office. They have incredible egos and know they can do very unpopular things and almost completely ignore the average person because they only run for re election once every six years. They are almost sure to win re-election even if they **** off all kinds of people.
Most of the folks in the House of Reps seem like small town business people. Lots are also nut cases who seem to have an agenda and do not understand how silly they look. But on the other hand they are closer to their people and are more likely to look out for us.
What do you think of the Congress when you watch CSpan?
