As the Gipper said, they left me a good 10 years ago. I keep telling them to shove off because I'm a Democrat now (not really). I do have a good Repub here in The Peoples Republic of Minnesota - Michelle Bachman. One of the rare non-socialists in the state. They are Democrat Lite and watching them is like "Keystone Kops Do Politics". All the Repub money boys keep calling me because I used to be a modest sized donor for years.

Did anyone else get a Survey from Mitch McConnell??? Strange that it required a donation (Or fill that in part) to have your survey done and/or a $13 request in addition to process to tabulate the survey. Hell, I put in the "Other" donation amount a big whopping Zero...and spelled Zero out beside it. Also, it allowed comments too... and I let the RNC have it (Vented and it Felt GOOOOOODDDDD!!!)....I called the RNC leadership a big bunch of Open borders, big spend failures, and are trying to Out Liberal professional Liberals. Additionally, I said, until they Prove their loyalty to AMERICAN Workers (Instead of Illegals), they can expect Zero Donations from me. In a related story…

Liberal Democrats are entrenched at all levels of the state from the local to the state, to the federal level. It is also one of the more corrupt states that one has to tolerate if you want to live there. Is it really any wonder that the NRSC can find a decent Republican candidate to break the Dem's stranglehold on that state. :shock: It would take a very long time for any untainted politician (from either political party) to clean up the stench that multiple corrupt governors have left behind. That's why people flee that state in droves every year because the liberal ideals of high taxes and corrupt government does not equal happiness for anyone not a liberal. :roll: Don't get me started on NY.....

Term Limits for Congress is something we should run on at the state level now, repeal of the <a href="The more and more I see of the bumbling idiots in the Senate and House I do believe it is time to instill term limits and repeal the 17th Amendment." rel="nofollow">17th Amendment</a> is something that needs to be put on the table for discussion. In my more radical moments, I think we should select Representatives by lot, from the voter rolls. We'd need to pick more than one name at a time, because the rolls aren't clean (voters who've moved, died, etc). The British House of Lords did pretty well as long as it was basically a random selection (i.e., before they packed it with political appointees).

The Dems have the cities locked up with people who will only push a button in the D row. The districts have been written to ensure a Dem majority. The Reps rarely even run candidates to challenge in certain districts. Pathetic! It may just be that some Reps need to start running as Dems in order to get elected and get things done before the State gets beyond repair.
