So they're opportunistic vote mongerers if they vote for a popular change near election time and bozos if they accurately reflect their constituency any other time. I don't really see why anyone with a genuine sense of public service would want to go to congress with such lousy support. Incidently, if WE are putting bozos up there, then what do we expect?

Daffy Duck | Terry, I think another translation might be: If a congressman uses ingenuity to push a popular cause through that *I* am personally opposed to, then they are an opportunistic vote mongerer. However, if this popular cause is something that *I* am in favor of or neutral towards, then they accurately reflect their constituency. It's human nature, I guess... All I can say is that there are a lot of people who are grateful to Congressman Wolf, all rhetoric aside. -- John G. Ata - Technical Consultant | Internet: ata@hfsi.com HFS, Inc.
