Republiclones cant be trusted. Neither can democlones.
Hastert is a useless leader, a crook and he's manipulated the process for his party (3am votes on bills nobody has time to read?), not the people. When a repub expresses his real opinion, you know 'free speech', that goes against party lines... Hastert goes on the attack to silence opposing opinions... a true American huh?
It's loser partisans like him that have clongress approval at a record low, but NOTHING can be done about it. The clones have the election boards full of party hacks and pockets full of $$ to silence free thinkers. They keep Ind's off ballots illegally, sue to keep voters from choosing freely in primaries and re-draw districts to make them safe party seats.
The lunatics are running the asylum.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15282501/page/2/For example, Hastert encouraged an effort to oust Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.) as a committee chairman after Smith bucked party leaders on veterans benefits. He angrily chewed out then-Sen. Robert C. Smith (R-N.H.) for holding up a bill full of pork-barrel projects for vulnerable House members before the 2000 election. He held open a 3 a.m. vote in 2003 on the prescription drug bill for three hours until he could round up a majority, and persuaded Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.) to switch his vote to pass the Central American trade bill.
Republicans say Hastert wins by appealing to party loyalty and taking care of members with earmarks, campaign cash and other goodies.."
