Is there any wonder why the Congress of the US gets such low approval ratings?

What's great is that 100% of the fees paid to lobbyists were tax deductible! : |

There are 30,000 registered lobbyists in Washington (and even more who aren't officially registered).

That's 56 lobbyists per congressional member. That means each member of congress could meet with a completely different lobbyist each week and still have one extra.

FT you have come down with creeping or creepy liberalism. A pilgrimage to see the Constituation is required If you cant do it you should learn it and be able to recite it. Getting small copies to hand to liberal prog demons will repel the demonic influence! Kinda a like effects Crucifix and Holy Water have
Soap and water work that way on the OWS parkpoopers too lol

We have a significant number of "transplants" that move to my area. These are folks who have moved from NY, CA, MI, IL, etc.

As a result, I have to have "the talk" with them.

I ask them what brought them to Middle TN, what kind of work they do, whether they like TN, etc.

I usually get responses that they have moved from a heavily progressive place to here. They moved for a job since they couldn't find one where they lived before. They LOVE TN, the job opportunities, the economy, the people.

My pad response is "We are so glad you are here. You'll find folks here are very proud of their state and are excited to share it with new people. That said, if you like this place, the jobs, the economy, the people, remember that when you go to the ballot box. THERE IS A REASON YOU MOVED FROM XYZ STATE. Please help us to make sure we don't recreate there HERE."

I've yet to have a single person not get my meaning nor disagree with my statement.

Its too late for florida
states should have a Visa system with libtard entry limits. In order to get a replacement Lib one has to die. Procreate and you have to go back where you came. No anchor babies more like JATO babies out of here with a jet pack.

Washington has been dying for decades - remove Boeing and Microsoft - and she is done... oh wait, Boeing left years ago - they are no longer HQ'd here because of tax reasons....

Ft B if Badweb had a "like" button, I'd like your last post! I keep hoping that common sense and constitutional values aren't dead, haven't seen much of either lately.

Ft B, it's like that here in Georgia too.

I tell people I reduced the conservative population by 20% in California by moving here.
