Gotcha politics
This is bullshit:
Senators plan ‘embarrassing’ votes in efforts to derail candidates
All three top contenders for America’s highest office are senators. But that won’t stop the Senate from trying to derail their colleagues’ chances.
According to an article in the paid-restricted Roll Call Monday, top senators in both parties plan to make efforts to derail the candidacy of either party by introducing “divisive” bills in an election year.
Democrats have already tried to embarrass McCain by putting up a vote on waterboarding. By putting a measure on the docket that would have banned the practice for intelligence collection, they successfully got McCain to vote against prohibiting a practice he had previously decried.</em>
Has there ever been a more useless collection of humankind than our Congress? Can’t we have another of those government shutdowns, so these grandstanding, unethical, lobbyist supported bunch of goons would shut up for a while? Please? Nobody elected you to play “gotcha” politics, you miserable excuses for “representation”.
