Ya Know What I'd Like To See?
A 65-year-old - with no political experience - run for Congress. Not a career politician. Not a young, ambitious, career politician to-be. But somebody with real-life experience they can actually share for the good of the people. Give me a senior over a DINO any day.

They really are the greatest generation.

1. lol 10 years ago that would be my grandfather
:shrug: but I dont think many would like him here. He's more conservative on social issues, but I think tends to be liberal on economics, and more of a dove than a hawk on foreign policy but he hates the GOP just as much as I do.

3. Public Campaign Financing
would bring that idea into fruition. Just imagine, a 55 year old woman, foreman at a steel factory, getting as much money to campaign as Howard Dean. All that would be needed is a petition with enough signatures to get her on the ballot, and then bye bye Yale boy, for example. Of course Howard Dean just turned his back on the noncorrupted system for his own political gains (at the expense of our democratic system of government. The current system only corrupts the system (as you know well I'm sure). Join the Kucinich effort, it's as easy as: http://www.kucinich.us.
