I stopped emailing my own lameass senator a long time ago. My senator? McCain. He never even had the decency to respond with blather, with gibberish, with ANYTHING. No response at all, ever.

And my OTHER lameass senator, Jon Kyl, responded the same way, too. Silence.

They both believe they don’t owe constituents who don’t agree with them a single damned word of response.

[Oh, I should make it clear: I always wrote respectfully, even while disagreeing vehemently, never a word even remotely close to profanity. What I muttered under my breath while hitting “submit” or hitting the fax button was another story.]
