We have to somehow take this battle right to the source. The elite politicians.

Couldn't agree more. The old saying that if you want to change things, vote out ALL the Incumbents (in both parties) is never more true than today. The political establishment has become so hidebound and unresponsive to the electorate they have become a power truly unto themselves with accountability to no one. Though there are a few politicians like Tom Tancredo who is rare exception to the idiocy (and greed) of most politicians.

Term limits is something I have always been for. It would go a long way towards solving growing crises that are accumulating in this country. Once the "Career" is taken out of “Politics” the ability of moneyed interests to influence political results is greatly diminished; and getting new representatives in on a regular basis makes for a much more responsive government.

Taking a quote from the great Air Force General, Curtis LeMay, "The hell with swatting flys, go straight to the manure pile". He could have been talking about the politicians of today.

I can't think of a better analogy to describe the quality of elected representatives today...LOL.

That's an insult to manure.
