Russ, Understand your frustration and respect your opinion. Coincidentally, Jimmy in '76 was the very first Democrat I voted against. And like you (I think), at times I kinda wish the GOP would get an old fashioned ass-kickin' that just might wake them up. But then I think of all the permanent damage to the country the Soros-led far left could do in 4 years. Picture 2 or maybe 3 new Ginsburgs on the Supreme Court and a slew of clones on lower courts. Picture the "Fairness Doctrine" sailing through the leftwing Congress and shutting down talk radio as we know it. Picture the equally absurdly named "Employee Free Choice Act" making union membership mandatory everywhere in the country. Picture a windfall tax on any company that makes more than X% return on investment. Picture increasing entitlements and reducing tax responsibility for larger section of society, creating an ever growing dependent class. Picture mandated health insurance. Picture a society where banned tobacco is joined by multiple banned substances (fats, red meat, diet sodas, non-red meats, theater popcorn, whatever) that some panel has determined is bad for you. Picture an elimination of trade agreements combined with open borders. And I won't even touch what such a government could do vis a vis radical Islam and such groups as La Raza.

It'd be nice to teach 'em a lesson, but the risk is too great.
