It was recently thatthe Republicans got a well deserved spanking , did they learn anything?
The Democrats deserve a spanking now without question , but will it be a teaching moment or just abuse?
I think the best choice is to get involved with one of the big partys and try to influence it positively , perhaps enough spankings will purge it of objectionable habits , perhaps enough members who care about honest dealing will cause some .
The alternative is to vote in a third party , which by the time it is large and strong will have accreted just as many dishonest pols as the big ones have got now.
I have to decide now whether to vote for Marshall who is a likable Democrat , or vote against him because he is a member of the wrong party. His opponent is a dope (again) but he makes the point that Nancy Pelosi's job depends on the reelection of the present majority party.
That is what I like about the TEA partys , their greatest virtue is that they point at the fact that neither party is pointed in the right direction.
If the Tea party succeeds in changeing the composition of the Congress , I hope it remains a force to threaten the Republicans with dismissal unless they behave better.
Too many spankings arn't going to carry the message that just one spanking should have given, perhaps both partuys will improve if there is a tea party on the side with a rod for keeping them in line.
