You've just gotta shake your head sometimes... how do we fight a system where they can dole out $3.4 BILLION for votes?? Either party, both have and both will again...

I think this fits in with Glenn talking about us being personally free of debt and able to handle anything, so that there will come a point where we can just elect the people who'll make the hard choices... the choices that'll financially kill anyone tied up with Federal this and that (Like I'm willing to vote for school cuts that would hurt the PR budget I'm paid under... bring it on).

Louise and company saying 'look at all the goodies I bring home to the district' has to be repulsive to enough voters, that the idea of earmarks and pork lose their power. I dunno. Seems a tough fight.

The so-called pro-life Democrats blew the myth of being a pro-life Democrat. They will never be able to say that there are pro-lifers in the Democrat party again.
