Frank E. Millis Sr. of Wheat Ridge writes:

Regardless of the needs of our country, it’s becoming obvious to any thinking person that our elected leaders in the Beltway simply don’t care about solving economic or social problems, but rather prefer to constantly indulge in petty party politics. Any cheap, back-stabbing behavior is acceptable, as long as it keeps their generally worthless posteriors expensively seated in leather chairs in some sadly misnamed “legislature” at horrendous taxpayer expense.
If you don’t believe that, then simply check out the staggering dollar sum of our current national deficit.
Almost nothing really worthwhile is ever accomplished, and terminally disgruntled voters have only the almost useless option of voting in the other equally dysfunctional party every few years, which only produces a similar lack of results.

Alas, this letter could have been written today, a year ago, a decade, 50, 100, likely 200 years ago. This the worst form of government, except when compared to all the other types...

So why the snipe anonymous 4:42 Mr. Millis has the right to vent his frustration at the lousy governing bodies of this nation. I'm sure even you get a bit "ticked" at politicians from time to time.

Mr. Millis I absolutely agree with you!!!

yawn

I can't remember who, but someone on CSPAN may have had it right. He said that politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed quite often and for the same reason.
