Why I dislike politics

I actually had quite a long post here in which I detailed how phucing sick and tired I am of hearing politicians (Senate Democrats) whine about Iraq withdrawal timetables, and whose fault it is that we are at war. And Senate Republicans? Wipe that damn smirk off your face. You're no better.

We need to weld bars over the windows and doors of the halls of Congress, and keep the loonies quarantined in there, while starting fresh with a brand new political party. The "Git 'er Done" party.

It seems that Republicans and Democrats are only good for sitting around, growing fat on our tax dollars, while continually sniping at each other and refusing to play nice. Has anyone really seen much progress in our government over the past few decades?

Can you imagine the kind of progress we could make if the bureaucracy was stripped away, the "What's in it for me?" attitude was completely absent, and people actually worked together for the common good? Cures for cancer and other terminal illnesses. Alternative fuel sources. Space exploration. Higher standard of living for everyone. The list could go on and on. But greed, bureaucracy, stupidity and lack of civility have us driving our Ferrari of a country at a parking lot speed.
