I can only wish the next junket every Congressman takes is to the woodshed for a little back to reality check.

This is what I've been saying all along. Folks debating about who's the better party meanwhile these idiots are skating around on the tax payers backs.

I'm surprised they didn't handcuff him for reading the Bible.

I believe both parties deliberately foster the 'us vs. them' atmosphere, they know all too well that when people finally take a step back from politics and take a good look they'll realize both parties suck and send them all packing.

Actually what the "us v them" approach does is give them the power since the people are divided.

When a multitude of Americans are strongly on one side of an issue, Congressmen have no control and no power.

Being old school...you stand up when you shake hands...and you take off your damned hat when you enter a building... be it a residence...institution or when ever respect is to be shown...the head covered by a hood shows the lack of real class................I attended court helping out a friend...who walked in wearing sun glasses...I had to run over and pull them off his face.....some people lack training....someone...in Congress should have helped the guy...and suggested taking off the hood...I guess even authority these days is poorly trained.

Other than age are there really any requirements to become a Congressman?

Not really. A felony may count but not sure. You don't even have to live in your district.
