The Senate in the their Gang of 14 Compromise this year told all of us including the President how they intended to operate and they didn't care about the Constitution. Our alternative is vote them out of office. I'm from Illinois. It would be great to get two new Senators.
Well, therein lies the rub. You want me to vote for the Democrat instead of Oly Snowe or Susan Collins? Politics is an insider's game, and is designed to be relatively "closed" to us peons.
