What hard-core republicans think of congress
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15866864.html

A hard-core Republican, Garren, 34, voices deep suspicions that cut across partisan lines.

''In all honesty, you talk Republican or Democrat, there's not a single one of them up there in office who aren't millionaires when they go in. And the only reason they're taking these low-paying jobs is to make money on the back side,'' Garren said. ``They all dillydally around these issues. Nobody really fixes anything. They make a whole bunch of arguments at each other, they cat-fight and what not. But at the end of the day, nothing ever gets done.''

2. that sentiment is very common among disaffected voters
of both parties. It's why people don't vote, and don't care about the news or what's happening around them. But it's a start. With some education, these brain-washed republicans can be turned around to our side.

3. I understand the sentiment but he should better inform himself.
Honest congress creatures do exist-eg Kucinich, Feingold, and a few others.

4. The democrats have to take corporate money or be steam rolled into extinction
Cynicism is a form of mental illness, it is Apriori Logic.. Apriori is the system Ru$h brainwashes into people..
