Time and time again, we heard during the media coverage, “making law is like making sausages, it might taste good, but you don’t want to watch it being done.” To those political pundits who throw this none-sensical crap at me, I say: “bite me!”
Personally, I find it absolutely demeaning that people who represent me, or cover events in the media (to which I am sort of, kind of a part of), think that I lack the mental acuity to understand just how laws are made in my country.
Excuse me for spending my parents’ hard earned money in a few poli-sci courses and actually paying attention during my high-school civics classes. I don’t think I’m special or in the minority. I think, there are a heck of a lot of educated, smart people in this country that realize that how laws are made in The United States.
I don’t find the inner workings of Congress ugly, but rather pathetic. It’s sad to see just how self serving certain members of Congress can be. You look at the simple lack of professionalism in how they go about their jobs and it’s ugly.
I think they get paid enough that they should act professional. There’s nothing wrong with having passion for the constituents (read: campaign boosters and lobbying corporations) they represent. But, every HR handbook out there for private sector jobs will clearly state that the company expects constructive criticism rather than outright personal attacks.
And both sides of the aisle have forgotten that. If we can do it in our everyday jobs, then certainly our lawmakers who get paid almost 4-5 times what the average American citizen makes, can do the same.
Besides, I’ve watch School House Rock and I know how bills are made. Maybe members of both parties need a refresher on it.
Here, if you like it we should all e-mail them this link so they get back to working:

Congressional Sausage: Yum!
