I think they want politicians to come back home and say to them that either. "I am going to control spending or I going to raise taxes." I think what they are tired of is politicians who come back home and say. "I havent got the guts to control spending. I havent got the guts to raise taxes. so I am going to dump it all on our grandchildren." Finally. I think this country is ready for an honest and open debate on immigration. I think this country is ready for an honest and open debate on how we run the Congress. and I think any one who has watched the last 24 hours of CSpan and has seen this House in session has had a personal experience in why this country has a mess on its hands. because we have a leadership which manipulates the system for its own narrow gain.
