Constructive gadfly

"The legislators may just discover that the bank money is toxic, and standing with the banks perilous to their political careers." This quote is wishful, naive perception. Since the birth of this nation it is the Senate that has been too big in egoism to fail! By its very nature--despite the myth of profiles in courage--it is 99% flunkeys to Wall Street even though dissenters always claim conscience driven motives to hide the backdoor of oligarchy.

Well, again I dont agree with the road to the destination, but I do agree with the destination!  But you cant exclude the house.  The only difference between the 2 is the size of the ego pool.

True, but the House can't pretend it represents an entire state.

True, but the House can't pretend it represents an entire state.

In a handful of cases it can (7 to be exact).

 Yes, but which is even more ridiculous in such low population states where there are more senators than representatives.

Yea, that would be the 7.  I find it kind of funny in a macabre sort of way.  The rep is usually more popular than the senators!
