I am an unfortunate constituent of Sen. Claire McCaskill. But don’t blame me, I voted for Jim Talent.
She was dealing with people at a recent town hall meeting when one of them apparently told her that she wasn’t trusted.
She seemed surprised.
“You don’t trust me?”
Um….no.
“I don’t know what else I can do.”
Well, you could start by representing the state of Missouri to the federal government instead of representing the federal government to the state of Missouri. That seems to be the major issue at many of these town halls. Washington politicians come back to their home states with the idea that they have to sell this plan to the people, rather than let the people tell them how they should vote. They don’t push Washington on us, they push us on Washington.
See, it’s the title of “representative” that so many politicians forget when they arrive in Washington, D.C. They see themselves as “Senator” or “Congressman,” not the voice of the people.
