Who says we don't have representative government?

Perhaps a patriot could find the occasional position taken by Tom McClintock over which to condemn him. Politicians, even the best of them, are merely human, thus fallible. Like Ron Paul, and Jim DeMint, McClintock will make 95+% good sense, yet be ignored by by the ignorant from both wings of the bicameral ruling party, and condemned for villains by both the proudly evil who inhabit the halls of power and communication, and by those for whom only perfection will suffice.

I contend that a congress of decent folk, who respect the obligatory limitations inherent in the oaths of loyalty to the constitution which creates their offices, would harm the Republic, if at all, only to an extent, and only at a slow enough pace, that a populace of thoughtful Citizens could remedy before the damage became permanent.

Alas, we have neither such Citizenry, nor (fittingly) such congress, but a sheepizenry generally lusting for all of the stolen benefits their pimp CONgress can falsely promise to supply.

McClintock does his best in a derelict CONgress to make sense to colleagues, most of whom are bored with good sense, and disdainful of decency. Had California voters more intelligence than greed, we could have chosen him for governor, the only candidate who actually understood the state's financial peril, and had worked out a program to avert it. Instead we got -- as an accurate representation of the declining mental and moral state of the average California voter -- a foreign-born, philandering, hack movie "actor," who idolizes the politics of Europe and apparently wants nothing more than enhanced notoriety.

Mirroring California's intelligence and morality, the entire nation has outfitted itself with the last word in disloyal pimp governments -- not that next time, they couldn't outdo themselves without half trying.
