They know who their senator is after his opponent starts flooding the airwaves with "$SENATOR name voted against protecting american citizens" overlayed against video of a terrorist attack.


But they do that anyway. There is always a hot button issue, and your opponent always voted against it.

Bush deserted from the military and used cocaine, and that didn't affect his presidency at all. So there is probably some factor other than voter outrage here.

And anyway, the Patriot Act has very little to do with terrorism. Let's not let idiots run our country.


It's a little late for that, isn't it? Our politicians are concerned with image, vanity, and self-service much more than the substance of anything that actually gets passed.
