Journal frankie's Journal: Americans say: throw all the OTHER bums out! 3
Nearly 2/3rds of all US voters would like to see most members of Congress removed from office and replaced with new blood. Sounds like a strong national mandate for CHANGE , doesn't it?
Well, it might, except for the second question in the survey: Do you think YOUR OWN LOCAL members of Congress should get the axe? As you have already guessed, nearly as large a majority responded no. You see, their guys are the ONLY honest and good politicians in all of Washington.
Once again, the Onion remains a prophetic voice in the wilderness.

Webb, while semi-interesting, ran George Allen out. Boo hoo. Apparently George wasn't that well loved, but I felt much disdain for WaPo with the whole "macaca" thing.
Moran, my US Rep., is someone with whom I hardly agree. Puttin' the 'P' in Progressive, AFAICT. I would cheerfully replace him with someone who understands that "less is more" was truer than in the case of the federal government.
Did I manage to stay civil?

Quite civil and logical, thanks. A shame you are such a minority among voters/citizens/humans.
To quote the bumper sticker, regime change starts at home. And that doesn't mean just the White House.
