Most members of Congress are politicians. They're bores.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves.
We tend to think of politicians as time-servers and slackers. But on those committees they usually have an interest in the subject. And they're quite clever. I've seen them pick people apart.
Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.
The problem... is that most members of Congress don't pay attention to what's going on.
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.
Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.
There are a lot of politicians who are just obstructionists.
Most people get their politics, obviously, from TV shows about senators or movies about them or... all the day-to-day press and the talk shows.
The Congress is a power-oriented party.
