239. Let's find true progressives for the primaries.
You are so right. Without differentiation in legislative actions, there is no reason for two parties or even elections for that matter. The Republicans can be the party of no because the Democrats will pass a Republican agenda anyway.

Just like working to build shareholder equity, which once was an outcome, has become the only goal, being returned to power is now the only Congressional goal.

The MBA's have led us to ignore qualitative analyses in favor of exclusively quantitative ones, destroying business management in America. Our rich collection of goals, aspirations, principles and ideals, have all been subordinated to what is mistakenly called bottom line "thinking." For instance bribing a Congressman to get his vote used to be bad, now it's called a lobbying expense.

The bottom line that Congress deserves, and we must provide, is new butts in their seats the first week of 2011, every one! (Kucinich can run for Senator)..
