They live in Virgina. Some quot;good old boysquot; changed Indiana's Constitution decades ago to accommodate Lugar being a non-resident for the State he supposed to represent. The election board ruled he could not use the bogus address any more, because it's not his house. They did rule he could use the family farm, which has NO habitable buildings. I think they need to move into the corn silo, but it needs running water and electric.This situation has never been challenged in the Courts, where US Constitution would trump State Constitution.
the rationalization the knowledgeable attempt to push option fuels down are throats is with the help of the fact oil is in limited parts. whilst this is long previous, this is long previous. not extra, ever. it rather isn't a Democrat project, or a liberal project, or an American project. this is the clever attempting to cajole the stupid. this is the final analysis.
Excellent comment and question. Santorum was voted out when it became known his home in Pittsburgh had not been lived in for years and his wife and children worked and attended schools in Virginia. Ted Stevens lived in D.C. area and maintained a home in Alaska, although he did make numerous trips to his home state to hunt and fish. Maybe there should be a law on the books for national representatives to actually live in the state they represent. One of the biggest issues we hear about is the guy/gal that is elected, goes to D.C. and morphs into an Inside the Beltway insider. They forget the issues back home and start to listen to other Insiders and make decisions based on beltway mentalities and lobbyist. They should all be required to go home, stay home, and reconnect for at least 4months each year, 4 continual months no foreign research trips, no campaigning for others (ie: President, or other outside the state politician). Maybe then they would still understand and know those that put them in office the first time they ran.
