re: Do you believe there is an indoctrination meeting with all new senators/congressmen?

Yes… and an even more stern one with more hardcore indoctrination for newly elected Presidents.

“So, congrats on winning the election Mr. President… now hold on to your hat because boy do we have some crazy shite to tell you. Forget everything you thought you knew.”

I know for a fact that when Zell Miller was appointed to the Senate in 2000 Tom Daschle and Chuck Schumer took him to lunch and tried to tell him the rules of the game and he told them to go to hell.

I miss Zell.

I’m not gonna sit here and act like I’m above doing it . I’d like to think I would keep my integrity but the fact is I’ve never been a position to be given a blank check just to vote a preferred way.

It’s kind of like a guy we used to hunt with said. He talked about how sorry they were in Baton Rouge and D.C. and how they weren’t doing anything but getting rich of us, and all that and then said “ I would run and try to go in and fix it all but I know I’d end up just as sorry as the rest of those SOBs and y’all would talk bad about me.”
