The Observation Deck

It seems to me in it's distilled form, political affiliations really have nothing to do with morals, ethics, and truly helping the "little guy". It's the individuals sitting in the seats we elected them to sit in. What they do after they get elected seems to get lost.

It would be nice to have a website listing each Senator, and Congressman, and everything they stuffed in a bill, and voted for, or against, in detail.

We then might be able to make an intelligent guess (at best ) as far as whether they should remain in that seat, or be non-elected out the next go-around.

Oops, never mind, that would only be in a perfect world.

I think it's called the Congressional Record......

Pardon my forgetting about that.

I still have to blame being a semi sleepless daddy to a toddler. BUT, while looking at it, I wonder how many voters who vote a straight ticket from either party, go through every name and every activity by every person in their party, and can honestly say no pork was stuffed into a bill, no deals were made under the table, (which won't be in the congressional record), and no special interest groups were catered to with no consideration for the voters, (also won't be in the congressional record) so only the "other guys" are the "bad guys"?
