A lot of the time, everybody simply gets up and leaves the room when he speaks, taking their aides with them. His speeches against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are particularly pointed.
I know who I'm voting for!

So the fact that everytime he speaks, everyone else leaves the room, votes by himself consistently, and doesn't take into consideration his constituents' needs means he's a desirable elected official?
From this description, it sounds like he's ineffective.
What exactly does he accomplish other than voicing his conscious?
It seems to me that's a very desirable trait in a protestor, but not someone I'd prefer to represent my interests in a political body...not if I wanted my interests to come to any fruition anyway.
