"And if the United States Senate doesn't run on comity, on courtesy, on basic decency, the United States Senate cannot run at all," Specter said.

While Specter finds an acorn every now and then, this stupid elitist tradition would be better observed if the state legislatures elected them. Until the 17th Amendment gets repealed, we're stuck with a "SuperHouse".

“Glad to know that there is at least one other truly radical conservative” that would like to see the 17th Amendment repealed. It killed any remnants of state’s rights.

Don't hold your breath. How many amendments have been repealed besides the one for alcohol prohibition?

Do you believe in term limits for Congress?

Despite a recent House vote against it, talk radio is still being threatened by the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine. With the near evisceration of McCain - Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act by the Supreme Court and the failure of the comprehensive "Shamnesty" in the Senate, the neoCOMs will be pushing harder for the Fairness Doctrine. Call talk radio. Use that as an opening to push for a Constitutional Amendment to give Congress term limits.
