Dems like Steny are a lock unless they are deemed incompetent by the Party. I'm right there with you, but I don't live there now anymore either.

Make politicians actually read? C'mon; they're too busy campaigning, finding pork projects, accusing the CIA of lying, talking to lobbyists, etc. What's sad is that this is probably how many ridiculous and asinine laws have been passed. Heaven forbid our politicians should actually do their job. What?! Make politicians actually read?

And I'm not so sure that even "good enough" is a reasonable description for our current congress and administration. Not even reading the laws you're considering, and he can be this smug about it? It's like we're idiots for even thinking it's stupid not to? Man!

What? You mean that instead of hanging their heads in shame that they don't read the bills, they openly admit to the fact that they do not, embracing a system which fosters and encourages deceit, ignorance and corruption? You obviously have unrealistic expectations of our nation's legislators. “It’s a sad commentary on the state of things…”
