But fortunately nobody took that jerk seriously.

I appreciate your comments and I agree reform is needed. A lot of it. We need the rabble rousers!

And I'm not happy either with a lot of the compromises that took place during this administration with Daschle and the other Dems. Frankly I haven't completely come to terms with all of it yet. They are in a completely Republican dominated Congress with a Republican President.

With the Republicans controlling all three Branches I wonder how much is possible for the Dems to accomplish on the one hand. And this being the most oppressive Republican administration we've ever seen at that. Still, I do wish the Democrats would stand together on some of these issues. I know compromise is inevitable at times, but some of this HAS been hard to swallow.

I still think it can change. I just don't think it can happen fast enough for some people. Even if we do get the White House, we need to start gaining seats in the Senate and House to really make a long term difference. That's going to take a long term plan.

Thanks for your comments.
