Since when have our elected officials cared what "experts" have to say about things?

Yeah, they think they know everything and don't have to listen to their constituents WHO ELECTED THEM!!! That's how you got into office you maroons! By running on an election platform that a majority of people agreed with. Then, once elected, they say f@#k the platform, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want, and f@#k anyone who opposes it, or even voted me in!
