BigRedBuster Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 If you were an electable person.... would you you want to be a member of Congress right now???? My answer is, hell yes. I would love to know what really is going on behind closed doors and actually have the ability to do something about this mess. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Definitely. The electable part stops me from running for anything though. I'm able to talk in front of people but I hate it. And participating in a debate is completely out of the question. I think I have good ideas but articulating them on the spot is not something I'm good at. On top of that, if I can't be bought, I wouldn't get much campaign $. Unless I just lie to everyone who tries and take their $, then vote how I think is best.

sho Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just for the benefits, yes. Everything else would be gravy. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hell yes I would. I'm hopeful of getting involved in politics at some level in the future. Washington is a gross place right now. Too many people go there to get reap personal benefits instead of wanting to help people. We need more people who go to Washington to help make the country better & actually follow through with the courage of their convictions. 1 Link to comment

mrandyk Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would accept if someone wanted to put me in office. Best case: I do something to help improve our nation. Worst case: I become a millionaire with minimal effort. Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm not sleazy and crooked enough to get elected to that cesspool of corruption. It would be great for the bank account, benefits and perks but extremely detrimental to your soul. I'm sure many of them went in thinking they were going to do some good and help but look at how they end up. No thanks. 1 Link to comment
