She stayed as long as she could and she had a good reason for resigning. He was elected to Congress to do a job and just threw in the towel when it got too tough. Life is tough Jim and the message you have sent to your constituents is that when it gets tough, you just don't have the kahunas to do the right thing and stand up for your constituents. He's a sell out--pure and simple. <br /><br />I'm sure we will find out another reason soon of why he just up and quit--like he's had an affair or something else that would have had the ethics committee investigating him. If it's purely for the money and it got too tough for him, he's a pathetic excuse for a Congress person and good riddance. Let people that truly want to serve be in office. <br /><br />Happy Thursday. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-64825753586931939082012-12-13T07:19:18.420-07:002012-12-13T07:19:18.420-07:00He quit for one million dollars a year, personal d...He quit for one million dollars a year, personal driver and car provided. I have read the Koch brothers provide a lot of the funds these days for Heritage. DeMint may or may not be influential in his new role (they have to quit having groups, that are really mostly lobbying arms, be called charities unless they do over 50% of their work for a charity not politics. As it stands they get all kinds of government benefits for being a charity including that donations to them are deductible as they are not for donations to the Presidential campaigns.<br /><br />I agree with you. He proved money is all he values which is how these guys see government-- goodies for the wealthy and let the middle class and poor be damned. I just hope Americans remember what is happening right now in Congress when we reach 2014. Every election has to be taken seriously and it's time states remembered they are electing someone to govern the whole nation not just get them pork.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-25123163088672455902012-12-13T06:19:57.158-07:002012-12-13T06:19:57.158-07:00What a joke.What a joke.Tennismomazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648275865147710529noreply@blogger.com
