John Boehner resigning from Congress

#22

Quote:If they voted for me, then my votes must reflect the will of my constituents, right? Or should I vote the way the people who didn't vote for me (i.e., the minority) want me to vote? So confusing.

 
 

The problem arises when you vote for someone based on his (her) stated position and then the politician decides to support a different agenda. The reason the Pubs did so well in 2014 is that the ran on a 'stop Obama' message. The very first thing the Pubs did after the election was to pass Obama's 2015 budget. The second thing was the Corker bill, which essentially gave Obama carte blanche to negotiate any deal he wanted with Iran.


 

On a more personal note, I lost my previous home when a massive tax increase was passed on a 3-2 vote, with the deciding vote being cast by a woman who ran on a promise of no property tax increase.


 

We are all subjects of the ruling class. The votes of the common people are only to choose which letter goes behind the name of your supposed representative.
