Silly me I thought it was one of the jobs of congressman to build bridges between each other not set them on fire.
No. Instead of all of the behind the back, in secret, political games, we need more honest people just like this. Tell it like it is. I appreciate honesty. Apparently you don't?

I think love Alcee Hastings.
We need way, way more of this in Congress.

It actually made me think of some vids I have seen of the English Parliament going at it!
Those guys are downright scrappy! I was shocked..........
Hastings called Texas a "crazy state" during a committee hearing on the Affordable Care Act on Monday, causing Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas), to demand an apology. It also led to a memorable segment on "The Daily Show" pitting their two states against one another.
But to many Texans, the insult is no laughing matter. Hastings told CNN of one Texas family that canceled a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando because of what he said about their state.
"I love Texans, but I do not like their policy makers who are in the majority," Hastings said. "The simple fact of the matter is, evidently, I touched a nerve deep in the heart of Texas. And I would ask them to tie a yellow rose around it and do like 'Frozen' and 'Let It Go.'"
But Hastings didn't just mess with Texas. He also took a shot at his own state.
"Consider the fact that I am a native Floridian and that I dislike it," he told CNN. "I have cautioned about living in Florida and when I retire I'm not so sure I'm going to stay there." [Source]
