SPEND A month IN MY SHOES. Should be a new reality show for EVERy congress man and woman

[greenbriar]

I am tired of these congress critters deciding my needs and issues when they do not know what the FUCK I go through.



I invite them to come do 30 days as me..




That shoudl be a reality show like wife-swap

Then they might be qualified to speak for me

[iamahaingttta]

1. And vice-versa.

Do you have any idea what that job is like?
You couldn't do it.

[senseandsensibility]

3. ?

How do you know that? Kind of snarky.

[greenbriar]

4. UHHHHH I am a political science master

yes I could do it

[PA Democrat]

6. Maybe the accepting bribes from lobbyists part, and doing the bidding of corrupt

corporations, but other than that, I'd bet on greenbriar!

[greenbriar]

9. trouble is, I would only be elected one time cause I would bow to NO ONE

and undoubtedly piss many off

[ret5hd]

11. The MAJOR problem with your attitude is...

I don't represent THEM...THEY represent ME!

[greenbriar]

15. whoa...oh sorry

had to look and see who you were respondign too

:)

[iamahaingttta]

18. Of course my response was snarky!

It was MEANT to be.

These threads about "they should spend a month in MY shoes" are just so dumb and counter-productive, it's incredible. C'mon... get real! They're not gonna do that and it just makes one sound like an idiot to even suggest it.

My point is... "Boo Hoo, poor me, they don't represent my needs!"
No shit, Sherlock.

[greenbriar]

19. ohkay snarky...This was not a boohoo thread...I am not poor me

was stating facts.


you are aweful young to be calling out people... Give it a rest

[greenbriar]

2. guarantee the first bill would be raising wages

the second would be trashing NCLB

[Texasgal]

5. Amen...

Congress has no idea what is like to be an average American!

[glowing]

7. No, some do, they just don't want to go back to normal life without

the perks.

[PA Democrat]

8. Didn't former Senator Bob Graham of Florida do that?

I remember reading about him spending time doing the actual jobs of various constituents.

No wonder he was always one of the good guys. I was so sad to see him retire.

[katty]

10. yeah, new reality show: The Princes & the Paupers switch places

[sandnsea]

12. Make Me Rich - that's the one I want

George Soros, Warren Buffet, and Oprah go into low-income homes and teach people how to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. In a short 13 weeks.

[AndreaCG]

13. Actually, several Represetatives recently did this

IIRC they lived for a month on a food stamp allowance. It was about $22 a week for one person. One of the Congressmen recounted taking peanut butter and jelly onto an airplane, but he was stopped at the check in and they were confiscated. He said, there went 3 days worth of meals, and I didn't know what I would do to replace them.

[greenbriar]

14. trouble is, we never heard about it

so it was really done in vain

[proud patriot]

16. I'd watch

:) and perhaps some actual good would come out of it .

[greenbriar]

17. yes...something that woudl help ALL people not just the

uber rich

[Ladyhawk]

20. I volunteer my shoes.

But the congress critter would have to inflicted with multiple illnesses, poverty and be reliant on someone who has polar opposite views.

[greenbriar]

21. they couldn't handle the truth

that is the sad thing
