RFK nailed it. They ALL need to go.

Our so-called leaders in Washington are doing jack shit. They're all bought and paid for by lobbyists, moneyed special interests and corporations. The people have no representation.

To sum it up from one of my favorite novels by my favorite novelist/columnist:

"As a lobbyist, he had long ago concluded there was no difference in how Democrats and Republicans conducted the business of government. The game stayed the same. It was always about favors and friends and who controlled the dough. Party labels were merely a way to keep track of the teams. Issues were mostly smoke and vaudeville. Nobody believed in anything except hanging on to power, whatever it took."

1. I love Hiassen too.

And I agree for the most part. There are a few decent folks, but for the most part the system sucks.

4. The system is broken. However...

the system will remain broken as long as we keep sending the same people back time after time, for they are the ones running the system rigging the game.
