The Congressional Deal

This may seem a bit cynical.. . Offered to new Congressmen by their party:   Welcome.   Our deal to you is simple. You vote as instructed.   For that we’ll give you bills to sponsor, or even initiate if needed.   You’ll get financial support for your reelection, support and testimonials from loyalists, your exclusivity to run in your district, and all the graft you can bring in. BTW, if you decline our generous offer, expect little support from your party. --------------- Memo to us: Mind those voting more than 90% along party lines.   They may have accepted the deal.
