A very depressing must read from Eric Blumrich. (BushFlash)

[genieroze]

Please read the whole thing.
I'm quoting part of the conclusion
"In conclusion:

We all know things in our nation's capital are screwed up- we've all known it for a long time. It doesn't matter whether republicans or democrats are running things. We have good candidates, but as soon as they get into washington, they turn into buffoons. Such is common knowledge.

But it isn't until you go into Washington, and walk in the rarified air of the institutions of that city, that you truly appreciate the nature and depth of the problem.

There is no hope for change in that city- none- nada- nil- zilch. If the liberals and the progressives want to change things, there's only one solution- and that's taking over the democratic party, at the local level.

It doesn't matter that Dean is Chairman- the party needs to be changed, from the bottom up. If you think a savior is going to emerge in a political culture that is mired in nihilistic opportunism and feckless navel-gazing, you're sadly mistaken."
