As Republicans, especially those tea party Republicans, return to their districts, their constituents are raising some important questions.
RawStory:
During a recent town hall meeting, tea party favorite Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), elected during last year’s Republican wave in the U.S. House of Representatives, told a group of constituents that he wasn’t really wealthy.
“I ain’t wealthy,” he said, according to video of the event. “… I live just like the rest of you folks.”
His mandatory financial disclosures reveal otherwise: specifically, that Gosar’s net worth is over $2 million. He also earns a yearly salary of approximately $174,000 as a member of Congress.....
Something tells me that some constituents across the country will start questioning their members of Congress about their wealth. Representatives cannot claim to be "just like you" if they own multiple homes, have millions of dollars invested in stocks, and live the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Face it. If your member of Congress belongs to country clubs, drinks champagne on a regular basis, and hangs out with check-writing lobbyists, he/she is not feeling your pain.
>>>> It appears that the Republicans are not happy with their collection of dull (Pawlenty, Huntsman), uninspiring, "do-as-I-say, not as-I-did" (Newt Gingrich), far right loons (Michelle Bachmann), Medicare-killing (Paul Ryan) candidates for President for the 2012 election. Now, some Republicans are looking at Jeb Bush, according to a story at ABC News.
Are they freakin' kidding? Hasn't our country suffered enough? The last thing we need is some family that thinks they are a dynasty. We're still digging out from the last Bush!!!!
