収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Somebody needs to find the North Hollow files that the Rovemeister has on this bunch of milquetoast we have for a Congress, and either send'em to the New York Times or burn'em.

There aren't going to be new parties until somebody charismatic enough to lead a full majority shows up, and frankly that person, don't care who it is, scares me. Anything less throws the election into the House and Senate, and you're back to square one.

We're gonna have to work this out the hard way, within the states and by beating the snot out of our own Congresscritters or drafting new ones to run agin'em. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will we get a velvet revolution quickly. Anything faster will take a shooting war, and I for one don't want that if we can do it bloodlessly in a reasonable amount of time.

And the DNC isn't our only hope; thankfully, several of the last few principled so-and-so's left in the Elephants are actually running this time. I think the best declared candidate so far *is* a Democrat (Obama)... but for once I do not think this election will be a total disaster if he loses.

I'm not sure how to do it and be fair, but I think it ought to be a misdemeanor to vote for a measure which is later found to be unconstitutional on civil rights grounds... and a third conviction on this charge is a felony, the penalty for which is simply the usual collateral side effects of being a felon: Loss of civil rights and the right to hold public office.
