1. They stand for...
...something.

I don't know what it is they stand for, because the vote with the Webb amendment made no damn sense whatsoever.

2. Keeping their jobs, health care, and pensions for as long as possible.
It's really just a job to some of them. They vote how they "think" it will best suit them to keep that precious job. It means nothing what they do with it, apparently.

11. Does any body know if we the people can get an amendment
or bill or law on our own. If so. We should try to get one passed where congress members have term limits. Two four years terms just like the president. That way they wouldn't be campaigning and playing to corporations to get elected instead of doing the people's work they elected, them for.

could not answer that question without having knowledge of what they have done not only in the present but the past.

12. You make a good point--the saddest thing is this why the

wither when GOP "sets them up".
