Quote from CaptainObvious:
Sorry Nancy, it's not solely up to the constituents. No more so than it's up to the church congregation when a priest sticks his cock up some kids ass. And this silly ass argument that he does good things doesn't hold water either. That alone doesn't give anyone a free pass to do whatever they want.
The congressman is in a position of power and influence. He is privy to information not available to the general public. His vote can and does change lives, sometimes can cost lives. Trillions of dollars are at stake. Local and global economies can rise and fall on the way congress votes. Anyone this reckless with their behavior and just to utterly stupid as to put themselves in a position to be blackmailed for that vote cannot be entrusted with such a position as a member of congress, or any other position of influence for that matter.
Guess we're going to just have to bring back the guillotine to get rid of these bastards.
