It's really funny that disagreements in Washington aren't always between Dems and Repubs. Sometimes the members of the same party from the house and senate cannot agree either. lol

It makes things more interesting and basically the way it should be. Republicans voting with their Republican colleagues and Democrats voting with their Democratic colleagues all the time wouldn't make any sense.

The representatives in the House should be voting on what the people in their districts are for, not what they personally are for.

I agree CF, but you know and I know that it doesn't work that way all the time. They can't polll their constituants on every issue that comes before them for a vote. So when we elect them, we hope that they have the same ideas in mind that we do. But unless its an election year, they really don't care what the rest of us think. But I guess we have to live with that since we elect them.

Yes indeed, the members of the House of Representatives are unable to poll their constitutes, but the voters have the right to write to their Representatives (their offices) to get the "pulse of the Nation."
