It's irrelevant what they think...what is relevant is how they vote and what they are doing with our tax dollars.
FOX was interviewing a congressman the other day forget who he was, but he was a Republican or should I say RINO (Republican In Name Only). The interviewer started pressing him about $400M in recent earmarks slated for his state; what they were for and could he explain why he felt they were necessary. He couldn't and in fact couldn't remember if he even supported or knew they were in the bill. This is a good example of the type of incumbents I'm speaking of that need to be voted out of office. They are spending our tax dollars without a clear understanding as to what they are spending them on. We have to replace guys like this with representatives that will be better stewards of the money we give them.

I know it's real popular to say that. However, I've never met anyone who thinks that. Not even the politicians think that way.
