Perdue was not TEA party. He was just the GOPe alternative.
As for your rant, excellent!! Five stars+. There is so much that needs to change. Buying political influence has reached such proportions that our congresspeople no longer listen to or care what the constituents want. They are, as Rush put it, governing against the will of the people. Amazingly, they just keep on getting away with it.
The ‘getting away with it’ is the part that has to change. We the people have ALL the power; we just seldom recognize it & rarely use it. If, in every cycle, we voted 99 percent of the incumbents out [personally, I’d want people like Jeff Sessions to stay; he is a national treasure] we’d get dramatic results after just one cycle. The hacks that remained would be scared witless. Whatever we wanted, we’d get in a heartbeat.
But we just keep sending the incumbents back. Then some are surprised that the problems just keep getting exponentially worse. Duh. Things have got to change. We are the ones who can do it. Let’s hope & pray for a major house cleaning SOON.
From your keyboard to God’s ears!
