Moral High Ground For Sale

Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist, has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, tax evasion, and mail fraud.

As part of his plea bargain, he will testify on behalf of the state against numerous members of congress. About 20 or so. Abramoff was believed to have a lot of influence with everyone's favorite moral high ground man Tom Delay.

Things keep going at this rate, we'll hear the words we haven't heard since the last BJ in the oval office. *looks around* Impeach.

Mid term elections coming up, and with a good chance of 20 incumbant Republicans being too busy trying to avoid getting sodomized in the penn to run for office, there is the possibilty of, if you'll excuse the term, a whole shitload of Democrats winning seats. Shift the powers a bit, and you have a leftward leaning congress.

Oh to dream...

I've come to the conclusion that we'll never get a third party I'll like.

Political parties are founded on the clause of being an opposite nutcase of what else is out there. So, instead of getting a good, compromise, center leaning party, we'd end up with either a communist party that forces its social views, along with a ton of social programs on us, or an anarchist party that doesn't do anything to fix problems.

So, the way I figure it, gotta fight for the party with the least power, and try to keep things in balance.
