I agree Ed but it scares me that the rich are the ones "running the
country"!
We need TERM LIMITS so there are no career politicians! We need folks
from the real world that may make mistakes but do it in a democratic
fashion rather than a "deal maker club".
Everybody listen to themselves!! I read all the posts here and "the
party" shouldn't matter!! Just the best interest of our country no
matter party affiliation!
The politicians have the sheeple so divided on party lines...Rozen
you said "if Bush being elected in 04 would bring down the rep party
you would vote for him". If you believe all the other stuff you
said...is that in the country's best interest?
Who made the original statement "divide and conquer" People we are
being divided by the politicians for a purpose!!!!

Good points all, and they work for me. I think that career politicians are
the problem. If we had term limits and the kind of temporary service the
FF's envisioned (and, for the most part, what they practiced) we'd have a
more honest government. A somewhat naive one, and maybe a technically
less-competent one, but a more honest one.

I'll take the tradeoff in favor of honesty. Of course, I haven't had the
experience of seeing how it would work. g
