I said, baloney...they're all self-serving spenders. It happens whichever party is in control. Yeah, yeah, I know the GOP has control of only the House. But it's not as if there haven't been plenty of chances to reach some agreement with the Democrats that would serve the good of the country. Remember the grand bargain? Remember acting so irresponsibly that it cost us a credit downgrade? Remember just yesterday a group of the most conservative Senators announcing that they intended to try to overturn the automatic spending cuts resultant from the failure of the super committee to reach any agreement?

Both parties defend their indefensible action...or inaction...based on ideological principles, or because they're trying to prevent the passage of any legislation that could be called a victory by their political opponents.

Nah, they're all the same. They're all self-serving. They're all on the payroll of one special interest or another. And they ALL ought to be replaced.
