Well, some of us patients have figured it out. The question is, are we enough and is there still time, or is the body terminal? We will surely find out. Politics is, at best, a perverse game of compromise, guile, and dirty dealings. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for concepts like justice, service, and honor. Not, at least, with our current crop of politicians -- I cannot grace them with the term "statesmen", because, they're not. I see Democrats and Republicans as all too often just different sides of the same counterfeit coin.

As other posters have noted here, though, if the Repubs can gain back the Senate majority, we may see the conservative agenda rise from the ashes. No one would be happier to see that than myself. I don't know how well it will counter the damage already done, though, with police-state crap like the "PATRIOT" act, CFR, etc. already enacted.

It should be noted that those terrible laws were enacted with Republicans as confederates of the Democrats. It's not like the Dems did it under the cover of darkness. If people are waiting for a majority in congress and the White House to "save" them from all this BS, they will be waiting a long time.
