It would be great to kick every single one of them out of Congress and the White House. Unfortunately that isn’t going to happen without a revolution of some sort. I would prefer all right leaning states band together to either cede from the nation or to come up with a referendum to limit the powers of the federal government. Imagine 15+ states, Florida and Texas included, wanting to cede from the nation. Washington might just break down and be more responsible. Then we would just have to retrain the millions of apathetic, uneducated, and lazy government workers who waste our time.

America has fairly frequent and regularly scheduled revolutions, though we call them elections. Ordinary people get to throw the bums out or keep the bums in.

I certainly have a reason for revolt or revolution. I’m a pretty conservative investor and my retirement account on paper, is down over 80,000 dollars. Maybe I ought to call Barney’s office and ask for an appointment. LOL, I’m not in his district much less his state. Which would be his out. But none of that doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible to some degree.

Frankly I don’t think I would get a word in edgewise if he did grant an audience. The blustering, dunderheaded, queer, certainly has a way with words, and will talk his way out of just about any scrape, but the final one, where a great many of us will have an opportunity to forgive his sorry fat rear end, if he continues to posture it’s Bush’s fault.

Wasn’t the idea of states seceding from the Union tried before, and unsuccessfully?
