Well, I don't think so, because the president and members of Congress and governors have the same constituents. It's the American people who are hurting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We represent people, and any good congressperson wants to know how their people at home feel about issues. I can tell you for sure in our office that is taken into account, and that is true for any congresspersons I know.
The problem... is that most members of Congress don't pay attention to what's going on.
Members of Congress have more in common with the people they hobnob in Washington, D.C., than they do with the people they're supposed to represent.
For most governors, we find the United States Senate or the United States Congress very frustrating at the slow pace in which they act. There doesn't seem to be a lot of discipline and organization to what they do.
It is equally demonstrable that so far as Texas is concerned, there have been equal confusion, insecurity and injustice in the administration of the State governments.
Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.
The American people deserve truthfulness, not more political campaigning. The American people deserve a responsible government that seeks to address their needs, not more ideological dogma.
The government serves the people - not vice-versa.
Washington politicians should not be treated any differently than any other American. That's what people are fed up with.
I would argue that one of the issues which the public should be much more emphatic about with all politicians... is patronage, appointing people to high positions because they supported your campaign or helped you raise money.
