From early on, everything I did was calculated to being elected to Congress,

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

Being elected to Congress is regarded as being sent on a looting raid for one's friends.

Whether Bush or Gore is elected makes very little difference on this issue. We have a 2-year Congress that is very committed to getting itself re-elected...Privacy legislation will happen.

One of the first members of Congress I met when I was first elected in 2008 was Barney Frank.

The people are fed up with their elected officials playing the blame game and treating their political counterparts as enemies.
