What Needs To Happen?

So, the first "Uniter" pays little to no attention to what was going on. The new "Uniter" seemingly pays too much attention and props dieing industries up with bailout after bailout - using our money.

Uh, the first bailout happened before 11/04/08, so who is to blame for that? Liberal socialist commies, or Conservatives letting things run amok, spending rather than providing oversight? Both parties talk about reigning in spending, then load a bill with pork projects to make themselves look good back home. So, when you're upset with the amount of money being spent, look to your Congressional leaders as to why it's happening.

Are they paying attention? Do they care? Sure, they'll tell you they are, that they can see and feel it, then go back and do it again. I consider myself a Republican, but I don't fall under the current definition of the party. Some consider me a moderate Democrat - or, what a section of the Democratic party morphed into to survive. I can't stand, though, how much Democrats look to make everyone happy, nor how right Conservatives think they are.

Well, how do we stop it, the constant partisanship, the giddy Dems who hopped on a rock star, and foolishly believe they can do anything, and the conservative radio shows driving paranoia?

Start pushing them out.

I'm not talking about voting in different Ds or different Rs, I'm talking about people outside the parties, pushing them past the bullshit and into office. Too hard to do? Not enough money? Not enough support? Too many roadblocks? If they ran as hard as they whine, we'd already have 3rd party candidates in office, but they are oh so disadvantaged. Forget Bull Moose, we need Roughriders, now.
