Loyal to who?
I found this opinion by Thomas Sowell in the Daily News with the local headline of "For politicians, getting re-elected is No. 1 priority":

They know how !
Subject: Fw: 2010 Election Day
If we do this every election, they might understand that maybe term limits will fix some of the corruption in politics. Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises. 1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011 2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA or $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is $1,600 or $3,200 for husband and wife. Plain enough?????? 3. Every member of Congress will get an added$10,000 which is putting them very close to $ 200,000 per year. Sounds like an elite class to us. 4. Do you feel SCREWED? They vote themselves a raise and better benefits. They only care about WE THE PEOPLE on election day, right? You never did anything about it in the past. The time for action is near!!!! 5. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED. *** THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES! IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE ENTIRE SITTING CONGRESS, Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE. The election in 2010 will be a sea-change to the mindset of any member of Congress who may survive. |

And besides that nice yearly income, they hardly have to pay for anything. How many times to you think they pay for lodging when they go somewhere? How often do they have to pay for a meal? How often do they have to pay for their transportation?
When you hang around with the makers and shakers there's allot of giving and taking. Just think who will land up on the receiving end; the one with the power! |

They all need to go.
Willingly stepping aside, or with their heads bouncing off the steps as they are dragged out.
