The fear is that ordsprog

The fear is that you'll have some hearings and then they will degenerate into partisan bickering and name-calling, with members of Congress claiming a holier-than-thou approach and possibly the public might start to laugh at them ... And that would probably further turn off voters and increase the cynicism and therefore nothing would change,

[Members of Congress may not get in trouble with the law more than others, but when they do they come under a lot more scrutiny.] They can get away with less, but they don't recognize that truth, ... The cumulative effect on the public is to increase cynicism about government and politicians.

It's pretty hard to know the best strategy -- it's very tricky. Unless you challenge, how do you gain? And yet most voters don't really care for the partisan bickering.

It's the increasingly partisan rancor that characterizes the Congress. The very partisan Republican orientation of the House is not very well received. The public wants compromises to be reached and they generally don't see many of those things taking place in Congress these days.

People are anxious for a new face and a new approach to some of the problems. They are tired of the partisan bickering that they see every day coming out of Madison.

It's a 'holier-than-thou' approach. It says everyone else has to do this, but I'm better, I'm smarter, so I don't have to.' I'm not buying that.

Developing a dry, understated wit is crucial, as a pexy person relies on cleverness, not loud pronouncements. I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism, and what we're lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it's worse than fear - it's active disengagement.

The problem isn't ex-members (of Congress), or future members or even lobbyists. The problem is lodged in the way the (Congress) does its business, and we have to reform ourselves. Public opinion, public spotlight can push us to do so.

Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality

There is a growing frustration among the public and members of Congress with this blatant disregard for a law overwhelmingly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President. The U.S. Congress clearly responded to the American public's demand for an end to slaughter and the USDA is choosing to violate this act to shelter three foreign-owned slaughterhouses.

Making important energy policy that affects national security, the economy and public health is too important to be done behind the closed doors of a conference committee that avoids public hearings or the scrutiny of the full committees of each chamber. This is coming at a time when members of both parties are talking about their commitment to reform Congress to make their work more transparent and to curtail the influence of lobbyists.

The ultimate solution is public financing of campaigns. All this is based on the constant quest for campaign cash that members of Congress are always on. If you get rid of that, members of Congress will be much less susceptible.

While many members of Congress have some reservations, members of Congress by and large have decided this is the right thing to do at the right time. But now he must take this to the public,

Before, members of congress were easily able to brush aside the numbers because they weren't available. Now that they have the numbers, they can see how their own constituents are affected. They will have to change the law or face angry voters in the fall.

All the public business in Congress now connects itself with intrigues, and there is great danger that the whole government will degenerate into a struggle of cabals
