Good rant. I agree.
I see you're in Wisconsin. I noticed polls show Queen Kohl (as in Senator) is in big trouble and is tied with his Republican opponent! Get out the vote this fall for Kohl's opponent so we can take that seat! I would love to make it a 4 in a row, Bush-at-the-helm election victory for the GOP just to rub the Dems' noses in it after all the gloating and self-delusion they've been engaging in assuming the elections this fall are theirs. I've heard this every election since 2000 and every time we've cleaned their clocks. Let's give them one more!
