maybe we could get real Americans into office, like a mechanic, or a hairdresser, or a nurse, or an administrative assistant -- people who KNOW what it's like out here. Once every couple of months I start a thread urging DUers to run for office. It sinks like a stone every time but it doesn't keep me from resurrecting it every now and again in the hopes that it will gain steam. We don't have to go for the politicians "the party" shoves at us. It's time for average Americans to run for office. Goddess knows they can't do any worse than the leaches we have now.
