Here she is! Definitely worth a watch for those who like to pretend the government is “for the people.”

I call her so many worse things that I cannot say in public. All I know is any pilot today that votes Democrat is voting to kill our industry. Don't @me, you know I'm right.

Do you feel her views represent the majority of the Democrats?

Do you feel the far right views, say anti-gay, etc represent the majority of Republicans?

I don't like her socialistic side but damn that was good. She hit it out of the park.

Nothing she is saying in this clip is crazy or wrong. The challenge becomes when one finds fault in the government, is to present a way it could be done better. So far everything she has presented seems far worse.

Well then we should require permits to use such a wasteful form of transportation. Eliminate trucks and planes!

Seems pretty common. Freshman congresswoman, comes in bright eyed and bushy tailed, full of hopes and dreams, knowing she will be the one who finally makes a difference, only to keep running up against a brick wall. Then the dinners, the parties, and the dollars start flowing. Then the coveted committee appointments, the fundraisers, the new cars, the all expense paid vacations. After a few years of being plied with cash and parting gifts from PAC’s and lobbyists and she will fall right in line with the rest of the career congressmen.

It would be a great thing if someone could actually make a difference and fix some of the things she highlighted in her hypothetical questioning. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

LOL geography? There are railways that traverse the Alps all over. Is that a Hannity talking point?

Either that or she’ll just be another 2-year one. Or have a “heart attack” or “commit suicide” randomly... She’s not the first. It’s refreshing to see people who manage to get in these positions question the system though. Even better when a video like this goes viral via Twitter. Ron Paul didn’t fall for it! He’ll tell ya the truth behind the Congress frat club.
