Basically, all this grandstanding for nothing.

Next election cycle, let's boot them all out. * Nobody in the real
world could keep a job with such a dismal performance record as these
people have. *That includes Democrats and Republicans.

Furthermore, *eliminate their federal pension. * Require them to pay
into Social Security like anyone else.
Eliminate their special privileges and health care. * Make them buy it
like everyone else.

Finally ... pass term limits. * No more lifetime politicians.


The bad part is ... who and/or what do we replace them with?


Us.


Like that would work. Seems as more and more of the population can't
think for themselves so they are either far left or far right. On the
right you have those who come here and dislike even hate everything the
left tries to do, like Scotty, you and John, then on the left you have
those who hate everything the right tries to do like Harry and Don. I
think it comes from too much FOX and MSNBC. Lemmings all.
