re: Thune sends US Senate home for a one week vacation today

Part of what is happening here is people not doing their civic duty, which is what government representation is supposed to be. Its meant to be a sacrifice you make for your community to run for public office.

We've allowed it to fester into this cesspool of career politicians that we have today. Normal people complain about it, but the normal people arent doing anything about it. Too busy with work and families. Thats fine, that's how it should be. Its supposed to be temporary, and supposed to be manned by people with work and families. People representative of their communities.

Time for some working folk from both sides of the spectrum to do something to preserve the republic. We have loons on the left and RINOs on the right. If we don't get some central people in government soon, we're fricked.
