Honestly the Repubs in Congress are just getting to be to much. They wanted small business help but they are calling Obama's plan to use the Tarp money "stimulus 2" and opposing.
Yes, "now", after 8 years, they are saying, "oh, no, put all monies towards that huge deficit!" (that George Bush gave us ....

I agree, both parties are not immune.

Well, now it looks like we'll have an unoffical third party, The Teabaggers (or the TeaBag Patriots, depending upon if they've been told about what teabaggin' means in the common vernacular )

But, if the Sarah Palin-successionist types go Teabaggin', and drag the true extremist crazies and the Libertarians (sorry, LIbertarians) off the GOP and out into Teabaggin' land, that leaves a GOP that can reform into a useful political force. They won't have the extreme crazies (also improperly known as "the base") to dance to, the GOP can return to being a combined moderate and conservative, sensible GOP.

Its time for our Congressmen to get paid about $45G per year and have 8 year term limits. then maybe people will enter politics for the right reasons, to make a positive difference in this country.
No kidding. I didn't realize that after your years in Congress, you retain your health plan and I think a bit of salary. Geesh, let's run for office!
