Good to have you with us! I know what you mean! It's just astounding. What on EARTH would lead anybody to think that, for example, a louie gohmert is in ANY way fit for public office? What on EARTH?????? What in the world would lead anybody to think that joe barton, or blake farenthold or pete sessions is worthy? Or paul brown or phil gingrey or jack kingston or - EEEEUUUWW - darrell issa? Or virginia foxx or marsha blackburn or heaven forbid - michele bachmann? And that's just in the House of Reps. Who ON EARTH thinks scott brown is fit to go back to the Senate? Forcryingoutloud?!?!?!?!? Who thought that jerk saxby chambliss was fit for the Senate? Or Dear God, ted cruz??? Somebody's bad joke after a long night of drinking and barfing? SHEESH!!!!! Hell, some voters wanted to send oliver fucking north to Washington DC awhile back! And it's a cast of never-ending thousands. We never seem to see the bottom of the barrel. There always seems to be somebody worse than the guy or gal you always thought sucked the most.
