I agree. When our system is working correctly, we get a safety-valve every 2 years where we can make our feelings known and alter the political landscape, and keep the country on track.
But the system isn't working correctly -- I think the safety-valve is broken. The Democrats want bigger government. The Republicans want the same thing too. In November 2010, the names in Congress will change, but I don't see any way for us to be out of the woods through the electoral process.
I'm convicned that many people feel this way. At some point (I hope) someone will take a stand, and then I think we may find that this country is a powder keg. Our current Cold War against tyranny will become Hot, and many citizens will "go hunting".
Our system has been broken longer than what we even realize. Republicans got us into this by continuing to barter/compromise with avowed enemies (democrats)all in the name of ‘reaching across the aisle’. Everything is now so tainted, so corrupt that a blood cleansing is the only way it’s going to get rectified. The longer that this is postponed the more entrenched the communists become. There are red flags popping up everyday and many are in complete denial; refusing to believe an overthrow is happening. I’m not sure anyone is going to ever take a stand just by the meer fact that no step has been taken to date.
