I explained BOTH of those to you in another thread, but of course you ran off after I did so.
He also explained them both, too. You do realize he votes NO on bills he adds an earmark to, right?
If he didn't keep his seat, he as the only voice that speaks out against the establishment would be gone. What good would he be if he surrendered his seat? He's the one who ORIGINATED the term limits legislation. If he were to give his seat up, how does a man like him get to proceed with his ideas? If he doesn't play by the establishment's rules, the establishment will eat him alive. He takes no congressional pension, no paid junkets, no paid healthcare. Can you say the same about YOUR rep?
How about your PRESIDENT?
