Getting Paid for Campaigning
August 18, 2015
Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio has missed more votes in the Senate than any of the other five Senate candidates for president. He missed almost 30 percent of Senate votes. But perhaps this is a good thing. Perhaps we should just pay every member of Congress to campaign or vacation every day of the year and never come to DC to vote on anything. No more new legislation. Things would certainly be better off.

But Why Pray around the Flagpole?
