This article is cosmically stupid...its not the Congress but the VOTERS who enable the same corrupt bunch term after term after term... The problem is so simple to resolve yet it continues unabated. The electorate is either stuck on stupid, asleep or pathetic.
Mis-educated and self-absorbed.
In many cases, the party apparatus works very hard to ensure that nobody good gets on the ballot or--if someone good does get on--works even harder to undermine that person. The GOP is infested with RINOs who regard conservatives as their enemies and liberals as their friends. In many cases, the majority of voters may want to have a good candidate, but the party apparatus won't let that happen.
