All the Congressmen are at home listening to their supporters...
What do you think they are hearing? Will they take it to heart when they return to Washington? Just listen to the Repubicans on C-SPAN when they give their morning speeches. You will get an idea what their Party is thinking. It should be interesting. My hunch is that many have been shocked at what they heard. They had no idea what their people were thinking. We shall see...

4. Just saying...
the Congress is on vacation until after Labor Day - home in their districts. They tend to get way out of touch in Washington. I sense they may have heard a lot more than they wished from their supporters on this trip home. Listen for their speeches on C-SPAN when they return and get a better idea...

2. Our idiot Congressman wants to be Governor
Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 10:34 AM by Bluzmann57
So he didn't care then, and he doesn't care now. His name? Jim Nussle. We are working hard to defeat him because he is one of bush's biggest ass kissers in Congress.

3. Listening to their supporters?
They'll listen to the rich men who backed their run for office but they won't be listening to you and me.

Check out the number of town meetings in your area that Congressmen are hosting.

Sad, isn't it?

It's why we need to get them all out of office, save a handful who are paying attention and standing up to power.

5. They've been ignoring their constituents for years.
It's too late to start listening now. All they're going to hear is "Buh-bye jerk!"

I hope you're right.

8. Zero will be shocked. They know what their constituents are
thinking. Do they care and why don't they are the questions.
