I've been trying to justify my planned vote for the coming election. First of all I believe that the best future for our country lies in a citizen government and that we have strayed from that ideal by allowing career polititions to set their roots in Washington and actually praising some who have spent their careers there as patriotic. My take on it is that they have been unproductive leeches on society for the duration of their careers.
So my basic mantra is to "throw the bums out". However this creates a bit of a dilemma this year as I wish to see the Republicans gains a few seats so they can block the movements of the socialist democrats. But I don't think we need to send the same republicans back! the argument for thier continued terms in Congress is that their experience will pay off. Well, personally I didn't see it. The combined service of our two senators is about 100 years and yet they were powerless to slow down the socialist shifts in policy, not only powerless but pretty silent. In fact Jason Chaffetz in his first term made a bigger splash and got his opinions published much more effectively than the two older guys...So much for experience. I'm going to support Lee in the Republican convention or primary over Bennett...I still recall Bennett promising he would only serve one term...what was that 18 years ago?

I saw Chaffetz quoted in the Week this week.
yes and he was put on what most considered a meaningless committee over the D.C. area and he has made it meaningful.
