Dick Durbin, the Illinois senator that continually votes Illinois tax money back to DC, accept Social Security cuts as part of deficit reduction; now wants to create an election funding entitlement for politicians.
Something happens when Senators go to DC, they become loony. I generally don't see these type of contradictions in House members. Why do we have this type of nonsense? It is the Senate itself, the fact that half of its members are illegitimate, way over representing small states. Not Durbin himself, but the Senate with is disparate arrangement of Senators without any similar level of representation. It makes for much different campaigns, much different job descriptions and the need for specialized roles among Senators. Mal-proportionment among Senators, they are forced into production lines to accommodate the problem. So contradictions we see when comparing the House and Senate are not observable to individual Senators. Senators become entangled in their specialized roles, they do not realize they have become nutty. Like John McCain running off to join the Libyan rebels, the behavior is so out of context.
