The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The Republicans lost elections in 2006 and 2008 not because the Democrats offered better idea, but that the Repulicans acted like Democrats.

They all have the attitude of “Don’t you know who I am?”

We got rid of Trent Lott and Denny, “You can’t search a congressman’s office” Hastert but….

But we still have John McCain and Orrin, “The Kennedy seat is hereditary” Hatch and the rest.
They’re too busy badmouthing Rush and Glenn Beck (I don’t listen to either one, I very rarely watch Beck) to listen to what their constituents want.

The long-term GOP parasites are probably against tea-baggers just as much as their Dem “good friends”. We need to shut up and let them do what they know is best. They’re smarter and better than us after all.

The next election needs to be a bloodbath with everybody losing.

100% turnover would be beautiful. Send all the professional parasites home and make them get a real job. And with that kind of turnover, when they become lobbyists they’ll be ineffective. They won’t know the people they’re lobbying instead of just lobbying their “good friends”.

I’m against legally mandated term limits, but I’m all in favor of not keeping them in Washington for too long.
