Neither are the Republicans. However, what we all should be ashamed of is that SO MANY of these illustrious two-year-per-term leaders have spent well over 20 years in Congress. They did not become dumb recently, nor incompetent recently, nor self-serving recently, nor hawk I-will-change-things recently.

They got us into this mess because we let them by re-electing them in spite of themselves. I would love to totally blame Congress, but if we are dumb enough to send them back again-and-again as our spokespersons, in spite of their performance, then we get what we deserve - laws and oversight by the incompetent on behalf of us fools.

This year, anyone on my ballot who has had more than two terms in office will not get my vote, no matter what party they belong to. A clean slate is the ONLY way there will be any substantive change, because Congress is the only place where things can be changed.

They call the President and staff an administration because they administer. Administering is running what you got with what you get. Administrators don't have change authority. So, regardless of slogans by either campaign, if you want change, then replace the congresspersons as they control the lawmaking, money and oversight.
