Everything is wrong about our political process.

Two things could easily fix this. I feel like I 'm beating a dead horse here but;

1.) Repeal the 17th Amendment and return a political voice to the states as the Founders intended.

Our local talk radio has lately been running (at 5:55 A.M.) the Ted Kennedy/ John McCain dog and pony show. This morning McCainiac was blubbering on about how he was elected "to represent the people of Arizona." I almost befouled my keyboard.

2.)We are not represented in the House, the people's representation.

Anybody who rationally believes that one man can represent the political will of 650,000 constituents is a statist, a useful idiot, or a moron.

Plain and simple, we are not represented today anymore than we were in the government of George III 227 years ago.

REPEAL THE 17TH AMENDMENT!

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

I've seen the 17th repeal argued before, -- but no one has explained how it could help.
-- As ALL of our state politicians, who would appoint the Senators, are part of the throughly corruped system we have now.

Can you?
