Who shows up? Is that like the ridiculous "Ask a Working Woman" survey that was put in the hands of every legislator, as if that biased thing represented the views of all working women? And this may be out there somewhere, but I thought the point of a representative government was to help quell the tides of fluctuating public opinion, rather than trying to control and direct it. Sure, the people might think they all want more federal money for our schools, but our good and noble representatives are supposed to refer to the Constitution and say that isn't really what the federal government is about. I think I remember learning that somewhere at some time in my life. “Listening sessions?” Who shows up?

He starts to believe his own BS, and the theater that comes out of Washington that passes for political discourse.
