rod03801: That's certainly true on this board. I can own that. I'd gladly debate the issues with people here but honestly, there are few here that actually understand what a cogent argument looks like. You get only anecdotal evidence or the usual, "Well what about Bush?" Even Obama plays the "What about Bush?" card.
There are some serious issues with the way Obama is running this country. And even more serious concerns with the way the Democrats have ramrodded through their unpopular policies. When they are unseated, they won't understand that the US people are rejecting their ideas. They are the party of the arrogant.
The Republicans lost the last election for the same reason. And if they don't get back to what the people want, they will be voted out of office in the next go around.
I think it's time for term limits and some serious restrictions on how much money one can use in a campaign.
Lawmakers should have the same insurance and retirement programs as their other public servant counterparts. They get too many perks.
Anyone in public service at the highest levels, if they break the law, they should have all their money earned as public servants forfeited. And they should do double or triple jail time.
