I'm certain you forgot the sarcasm tag
Not really. I am no big fan of RP but the way the Repubs are going now and the possibility of even worse coming in, i.e., Romney or Newt or Perry, maybe the party needs a swift kick in its butt. RP may just make it so bad that the Dims and the Repubs would (I seriously doubt it) try to correct somethings.
When I was in power I always assigned the person who complained the most about something as the person to fix it. About 70% of the time they did and the other 30% those people shut up and went away. The end result was a much better organization. The 70% may have sounded ridiculous but they did have good ideas in the end.
If something is not done on a national level to change the trends in this country we will become like the Italy after the fall of the Roman Empire. Look it up, it was not pretty and seems to have gotten even worse in the last 1500 years.
