I have my fun but I say this in deadly seriousness:
The Democrats, dependent on bamboozled minorities, disaffected radicals and assembly line draftees who can't even speak our language prove themselves unworthy of leadership by indulging in all those tactics. They can chat up enough BS during a Library Outreach to float a hot-air balloon but none of it would blow out a match back on the real world. Victimization, Balkanization and false accusations are not the foundation of rational policy. Those are the foundations of failure and the booty call of an America ready to be the U.N.'s bitch.

I don't like how our current President (and his father) have set precedents for that scenario. Today we have him (somewhat controllable) and a traitor capable of anything. My resentment has built an ulcer on my ulcer, yet there it remains. Lesser evil it must be because I can't afford terrorism in my parking lot.

I have a point here. If we paid more attention to measures like this, supported them through great services like NumbersUSA and mentioned them to a few more people than we usually would momentum would shift from the corrupt to the concerned. The corrupt depend on our cynicism and giving up. Whenever we buck up they fold. Raise hell, people; it's not just therapeutic, it's doing good.

What do we do when our elected Senators and Representatives ignore us? My Senator, Russ Finegold, does not accept emails. He replies to mailed letters w/boilerplate and sometimes with the exact same press release to which I am responding. He is MIA outside of his stronghold of Madison. He sends aides to the boonies, where there are Republicans. My critter, Ron Kind, is Hillary's sock puppet. He makes it perfectly clear he only represents Democrats. He has turned his back and walked away from constituents, after asking them their party affiliation, if they reply Independent.

The State and local media simply takes dictation from these incompetent partisans and never questions them or examines them.

I have been totally disenfranchised since Steve Gunderson decided not to run again. Yes, I know his orientation, but he did his job, met face to face with us and was accessible & accountable. I once asked him if he thought this nation was still governable. It was in a public meeting shortly before he decided to not run again. He looked straight at me and said:"I am afraid to examine that question."
