-In a below thread one of our forum members asked this question: "...Please provide me the name of a single Congressman or Senator you would trust to do the best for the Country as opposed to the good of their party or personal gain."
-I feel his/her frustration . I like the growing movement that says throw all the encumbants out. Then we have a new House of Reps next year and a new Senate in 6 years . Then term limits. ..but, that's not going to happen.
-Anyway, I thought about teh above question. I didn't find many, did any of you find some you could really trust to do the work of the nation (--not those that just agree with our individual political beliefs)
-I worked in DC on and off for 20 years. As a young man I worked for my State Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island. He was a man to trust. He was independently wealthy and sometimes that makes a difference in how free a man can be, ...but not always..
-BUt in teh present bunch I find it hard to find that man/woman with the lamp. At present, I could only come up with Joe Lieberman, with Ike Skelton and Jay Rockerfeller coming in close seconds.
-Whether you like Lieberman or not, he had a view of what he thought was right for the nation, and pursued at great threat to hhis political career. ...and it cost him his party's nomination. They turned on him en masse. However, in the final results, the people decided with Joe and not with the party. Maybe there is hope out there after all.
