It is called blind partisanship...
I do not see it as a republican issue though.
I see it as out of touch, old fashioned fundies who have been in power too long.
Back in our infancy, you served your time as a representative of the people, then went back to your farm, or press, or tannery, or whatever your real job is.
Government was never intended to be a full time job by our founding fathers.
I want term limits on senate and house members, no lifelong insurance benefits that equal 84k a year per congress/house member, and half the salary.
This should not be a livelyhood, but a sacrifice.
And you wonder why I keep buying ammunition?
(I feel homeland security on me now, oh boy I am in trouble for saying that)
