Goat: Pig. This is Senator Bow Wow. He represents us in Congress and he's agreed to vote yes on an environmental bill that will clean up our city. Senator: YES. Voice: Doggie treats for a 'NO'. Senator: NO. Goat: His ethics are questionable.
The people we elect are OUR REPRESENTATIVES. That is, they ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF US. If we find them ignorant, venal, greedy, amoral, or stupid, we have no one to blame but ourselves. If you do not like the character of those who represent you at whatever level, don’t vote for them. Find, fund, volunteer/work for other candidates. Or run for office yourself.
