This is a start. Many more need to be voted out in the Senate (McCain) and House (Boehner).

"Tea party out to defeat 3 Republican senators"

ha. I mean - ha ha. This is like cannibalism.

Let's hope the right becomes as extreme right as possible so they'll marginalize themselves so much no one will vote for them.

?? No, it's called "principles". I prefer my legislators to actually (1) have values and goals, and (2) consistently stick to them.

For someone who proclaims you're above party labeling, you should be proud that people don't blindly accept someone Because they have a D or R by their names. But strangely you're not.

Who are you talking about?

Personally, I prefer a bit of common sense, which is sadly lacking in U.S. politics at the present.

You really have things backwards don't you. They all have the same values and goals and they all stick to them very consistently. No problem there. Problem is they are not "your" legislators, and haven't been for a long, long time.

Based on your stated comments, I find this hard to believe. You are one of the more partisan people on here, and can justify anything as long as those involved have a D by their name. At the very least, you'd stay silent. As happened when Obama was justifiably blamed for his incompetence in the gulf oil spill response.
