Everybody just take a breath, and stop mourning this "loss". We'd all be much better off with a congress chosen randomly from a phone directory. The last thing we need are these career politicians running and ruining our lives.
All this R. vs D. bullsh*t is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. Party, schmarty, they are all alike, and feed from the same trough of ignorance pulling the woool over our eyes as they go their merry ways of plunder.
Good and evil reside in the halls of congress just as they do in the general population. We now have 535 relatively evil people making decisions for and about us, and they ALL need to be sent packing.
We need real conservatives with real concerns about longterm success for this country' not a bunch of shameless charlatans with only their own careers and purses to consider. We've had, instead, about sixty years of buying votes with pork, pork, and more pork, and look where it has gotten us.
