Congressman blasted for listening to Constituents !
Posted on October 5, 2008
Congressman Robert Aderholt Republican from Alabama voted against the financial bail out bill both times it was presented in the House. Part of the reason he gave for his vote was the overwhelming majority of his constituents were opposed to the bill. Upon learning he had dared to listen to his constituents the left leaning Decatur Daily blasted him in an editorial, suggesting constituents opinions should NOT be a consideration in his decision on how to vote !
What kind of nation would we have if all those elected officials in Washington stopped listening to, nor valued the opinion of those who elected them and sent them there to represent and be their voice in OUR government ? I must admit, far too many have done just that ! If more Congressmen and Senators were listening to and in closer harmony with their constituents the bail out bill would have failed miserably. Even more importantly, it would have never been necessary to consider it in the first place. Had the House and the Senate been doing their job, had they been listening to their constituents and placing value on their opinions they would have never allowed the reckless, greedy behavior of Wall Street and the out of control sub-prime lending mess.
The American Citizens are collectively very intelligent and wise. Collectively far wiser than any individual or group. The problem, as I see it is one of a failure to listen to constituents! My hat is off to Congressman Aderholt !

The blasted him for actually doing what he is elected to do!!!!!!!!
I think the subscribers should bail en masse.
At least Congressman Aderholt has a spine.
Leftist ideology suggests a return to slavery: The big house where the elite do the thinking, and the rest of us lied to, tortured, or murdered if necessary so that he elite’s bidding is done.
Of course, after he next generation watches how little work and innovation is rewarded, and how much slavish devotion to the party gets one ahead, the people in the big house become the slaves.
