Is this bull**** or just ignorance that you seem so proud of?
You are saying you have no interest in what your leaders are doing in
congress? Why should we pay any attention to your political posts at
all?
I suggest you stop wasting your time at Kos and Salon and take a peek
at Congress.gov. This is what is really going on, not just a roll up
of opinion and biased reporting.
It may not have been as important since the 90s to watch what your
congress is doing and stop watching the shiny object the press is
holding up in your face. The distraction of the blue, jizz stained
dress, hid the deregulation of Wall Street. I wonder what all of this
Russia business will be hiding.

Most of what congress does on serious matters takes place in the
cloakrooms and other private meeting rooms, including the offices of
legislators. Congree.GOV reports on the official actions, but not the
background. You'll get the "what" on that site, but not the "why" on
contentious legislation. I used to write the legislative testimony of
three labor unions and was on the hill frequently to watch and report on
legislative activities.

And no, I do not keep abreast of the legislative activities of Pelosi or
Waters, aside from what I may read in the news.

I understand the deals are made in secret but they are just dreams and
aspirations until they get dropped into legislation. This is usually
an amendment to a benign sounding bill. That is why you should be
paying more attention to what congress is doing. I do not trust the
news to report most of this. They are too lazy to actually read the
legislation and most congressmen who vote on it are not much better.
They spend most of their time raising bribes ... er ... contributions.



I get legislative alerts from groups I trust. They follow the
legislation that interests me, and a lot more closely and with better,
first class interpretation than CONGRESS.GOV provides.


Biased interpretation . . .



He "trusts" the Daily Kos

Richard and I are probably the two most politically moderate guys that
you're likely to meet in this group. What would you call the rest?
