I'm not talking Dems vs Republicans, I'm talking novices versus experienced legislators.

Not having novices doesn't mean you're left with career politicians. It's not either-or. No, I most definitely am not in favor of Washington being constantly made up of new classes of novices. I think that would be sheer disaster.

lol

a few. that's the first time i've seen every democratic senator, almost half the members, classified as 'a few'.


and an fyi..


the debt ceiling was raised eight times under clinton, seven times under bush. it's really not a party thing, but a spending thing. i just find it laughable that the dems made it such a political issue, and now it's jumping up to bite them in the ass.

and yeah, it's all bs. everyone knows it's going to be raised. again.
