I am voting democrat this year, but I was still against all this they are doing - I think many democrats are - not just me.
Why should the republicans vote no because their constituents are against is, but if the dems vote no because their constituents are against it, it is just a setup?
I am not trying to cause an argument - just asking a question...

These constituents have to take
responsibility for themselves and their children. It is not for our government to make decisions for people.... plain and simple. People have the right to ask questions, but also have the right to be told it goes against the constitution which is the underpinning of our freedom, and if you believe in freedom, it really is that simple.

Yup, he's got plenty of constituents who'd like him out.
Nothing like earning respect like this:

The ones who think their constituents are stupid..
Will pay for their mistake next election day.

I live in a pub state and our governor is a fool. If he turns down any of the stimulus package with this area hurting so badly in the current economic climate...he won't be here come next election day. I have heard from MANY on both sides of the issue who will definitely vote him out if he pulls such a stupid move.

Of course, that just leaves more for the reasonable heads of state who want to actually improve the lot of their constituents...

She was mayor, constituents had asked her...
about some questionable books in the library. In a meeting with the council she brought up that concern. According to that same Alaskan (Kilkenny, a Democrat, go figure), the same one who wrote the email cutting her to ribbons and one of the points was "She has hated me since 1992"....the first time she described the issue it was "I remember she brought up something about some books in the library but she never took it anywhere." Now, since she is running for VP, it has become "She tried to ban books!" Typical political crap. She was doing her job. Constituents brought her concerns and she brought those concerns to the council.

I saw the military head of the Alaska National Guard last night on TV, and the sitting mayor of Wasilla. Both had nothing but good things to say about her. The National Guard gentleman was really PO'ed that people so minimized the role of the governor as commander in chief of the National Guard. She was involved last weekend in deploying Alaska National Guard assets to Louisiana to help with Gustav.

You would think these folks would spend more time talking about what there #1 is doing than trying to crucify the other side #2. But, that is the way of the left. Politics of personal destruction and the bloodier the better...and enjoying every minute of it. McCain has more character in his pinkie.

The constituents who brought her their concerns...
does freedom not extend to them also? They don't have a right to at least ask about the books? Which is what they did...and she took their concerns to the city council, which is her job as mayor. Why do you seek to curtail others' freedom in the name of freedom? They did not get what they wanted, but they certainly should have the freedom to ask and be heard. Isn't that exactly what you are saying we must protect??

It is the jobs of their constituents to hold them accountable...sm
and vote them out if they are not doing their job. You turn a deaf ear to anything the dems on this board have to say, only causing us to tune you out when you keep the broken record going.
