This is why

In Reply to: I am not envious of Obama. - Trigger Happy

both the Republican and Democrat party are losing members and more of us identify ourselves as '' independent.''

I just received a solicitation from RNC chairman Michael Steele asking if I am ''fed up with Obama's big government, tax-and-spend, anti-military, anti-values agenda.'' He wants my ''Roll Call Response'' (and a donation) within 72 hours. Boy! Is he ever gonna be sorry he asked me for money! I intend to let him know that:

Definitely, I am sick of Obama, Pelosi, Fwank, Murtha, and a whole bunch of Democrats. Sick of bail-outs, TARP, czars, ''greenness,'' govenment meddling in any private enterprise.

Also:

I did not like McCain as a candidate and only voted for him on the NObama ticket. Had it not been for Palin, I would probably have stayed home on election day.

And I am also fed up with the whole sorry Republican establishment! Stop ''reaching across the aisle'' and grow a d*mn (how absurd! someone decided this is a ''bad word.'' not like it's an obscenity, or anything. can anyone not figure out what the word is with an asterisk instead of A? then what's the point of the censorship? ) spine and some 'nads!

I for one am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, though this has been a forced choice for at least 30 years. Have we forgotten that when we vote for the lesser of two evils, we are still voting for evil?

I am all for cleaning out the halls of congress and starting over. Throw all the bums out and make them get honest jobs. Destroy the aeries they have spent decades building for themselves and make them walk upon the earth among us mortals once more. I'm all for finding candidates who have actual non-political lives and have to be dragged kicking and screaming to run for office. I'd like to see them speaking from the back of a train at whistle stops again, rather than made up, powdered, coiffed, perfumed, managed, handled. focus grouped, and TelePrompTered into some political clone whose party affiliation hardly matters.

Honked of? Ya betcha!
