Current pubbies are not a solution they are part of the problem.

Get rid of all incumbants and rats.

Spoken as someone who truly does not understand the system at all. Each elected official in Congress has dozens of paid aides. If an incumbant loses his seat, guess what? The old aides become the new aides. Congress cannot become "fresh" by voting out incumbants, it can't become "fresh" at all due to the sheer size and volume of the rules and procedures. Aides are needed to guide Congressmen and Senators through the maze of protocols and issues, and only through experience serving in Congress does the reliance upon those un-elected rulers become lessened.

Throw out the incumbants! Term limit Congress and the Senate!

With that battle cry you give the reins of power to the un-elected rulers of D.C. and make elected officials figureheads of our government.

Our goal should be to make sure that there are more liberal (i.e. Democratic) aides working at Starbucks waiting for the next election cycle than there are conservative (i.e. Republican) aides doing so. If you don't believe this is the truth, then you do not understand Washington, D.C.

Well said anitius:

We have to take a long term view of this election. The may not be perfect republicans but to have a solid republican controlled federal government will establish the groundwork to lock out the democratic party wackos.

We want the Republican part to control the procedural issues of Congress. This will be benificial for redistricting issues, judges, committee assignments, etc.

We must see each small victory as leading to a greater victory down the line. 2004,2006,2010,2012,2014 and so on...
