Pumps' Perplexities

Mr. Webb is my new State Senator in Washington DC......While
I did not vote for him, he IS my representative for the next
6 years......From his past history, in governmental service,
and his recent actions in the White House, it appears that he
is his "own man".....And, I like and respect "free" thinkers....

But, how many "free" thinkers are there in Washington, DC?......
If you are the "newbie" in the Senate or House of Representatives,
you have to take "direction" for caucus leaders, committee
leaders, party leaders, etc.....In other words you are told what
to do and when to "wipe your ---"........

A rare few Senators and Congressmen have served their
elected terms and have decided that the "political game"
is not to their liking and have not run again for "office".....

My concern is not with what Mr. Webb has done, but what
he will "be able" to do.......And if he gets his "Haynes in a wad"
again how much of a true public servant he will be?....Pumps
