Why do you say that? Because you disagree with them? What makes them terrible people and horrible members of congress?
reply
Yeah... I strongly disagree. They are there to represent their people that voted for them. Their voters know what they are voting for and these guys hold to their principles pretty consistently vs. most politicians. I really think the biggest issue in politics is the party nonsense. The trading favors and all that. Yeah that's how it works... and that's why it doesn't work for the people.

What do you mean. If everyone acted like him we would be even more dysfunctional. He is elected as a leader and leaders don’t hold legislation hostage like they both have done before that helps their constituents and cuts red tape.
Massie and Paul aren’t leaders or followers they are just people who take something that isn’t complex and have to put their figure print on it and nuke the whole thing. I forgot what bill it was that Massie got everything he wanted but he still voted against it and essentially made multiple Congressional Staffs lives hell to say great we got what we want and then vote no

I imagine you also didn't like Ron Paul. These two are basically the modern day Dr. No.
You sound like you don't agree with their positions and just want them to compromise. I respect people saying no in a crowd of yes men. What you are describing though is exactly why I would never be in politics. Its a disgusting affair full of wheeling and dealing and back room deals.

Every person has a line in the sand for the things that help his constituents that help his people. Ron Paul vote no most of the time sure but he wasn’t back there trying to cut deals and twist arms like Massie. Paul was a true as true could be with his principles and Massie is a joke when it comes to it.
Paul also had a pretty significant independent libertarian streak in him from the death penalty to the war on drugs and same sex marriage the views he had were not what someone like Massie would have.
