Throw all the bums out election on both sides.

Really? Are we back to this silly populist sounding nonsense? This "throw all the bums out" stuff has never worked. It's a meaningless statement. If you throw a Republican out, you're going to get a Democrat who is more liberal. Period. There are no candidates from any other party's that are going to win these seats. It's either Republican or Democrat. If you throw a Republican out, you get a Democrat. If you throw a Democrat out you get a Republican. If you have a "throw all the bums out election" the House would switch to Democrat control and the Senate to Republicans which would result in no meaningful change.

You're right it doesn't work. That's why other measures must be taken. Extreme measures.

Same thing, different label. The R version differs only on how fast it wants to travel to the same destination.

I guess that means Trent Lott was right when he said, “you can’t change
Washington”. Oh well. Down the drain we go.

Right, ‘cuz re-electing 97% of the same people have done SUCH a wonder?

So, no Rep = instant Dem? Damn, the 2-party cartel really gives out the kook-aid by the gallon. If people actually did their research and demanded a REAL debate/election, you’d see more 3rd party, like there should be.

The ‘lesser of two evils’ BS still doesn’t fly for the more open minded around here. Say howdy to the GOPe plantation bosses for me; but they sure as shit ain’t doing anyone any favors these days.

Forgot 2010, troll-boy?

Compare the votes in the House under Pelosi, to the votes *since* 2010.

There is a difference, even with the crapweasel RINO leadership.

Troll.
