How effective a Congressperson would you be?

[bryant69]

If, say, your representative or senator dropped dead (Heaven forbid) and the Governor or your state called up and said "Your the person for the job. Get to Washington and do us proud." How do you think you would do?

1. I'd probably get labelled as a crackpot the first time I opened my mouth

Because most members of Congress are too dumb to understand my brilliance.

11. I think we all would..

we'd start questioning the unquestionable, and they would probably end up hauling us away in straight jackets.

2. I'd tell the guv to piss off. I have better things to do than be a crook.

10. You were impervious to peer pressure as a child too,

weren't you? ;)

12. i was a real pain in ass as a child, i hated authority and to this day i really

i cannot stand being told what to do, it's the running family joke. I was a rebel without a cause or a clue, at least now i have a cause.

14. Congress is essentially one big kindergarten class..

the same social networking goes on when it gets right down to it.

5. I would procrastinate too much. In fact, the only time I post here

is when I'm seriously procrastinating on something. LOL

8. Kick for more votes n/t

[bryant69]

15. one more kick for votes n/t.

[Adelante]

9. Terrible

I wouldn't have the patience.

[meldroc]

13. I'd get eaten alive by all the sharks in the Beltway.

There's no way I'd be able to make it in Congress - I'm terrible at "playing the game."

16. With the crew currently in the oval office

and Washington? Probably ineffective as I probably would be escorted out of the chamber every day.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. Basically my attitude would be...

You've given me x amount of years. I'm not going to worry about getting more. I'm going to worry about what I'm going to do for you during them instead of getting more years.

18. I'd be a good whip. Plus, I'm not susceptible to blackmail.
