The Red/Blue Divide has been the source of much speculation by both sides of the aisle. This is an interesting (albiet negative) feeling about why people gravitate to cities. It does, however, explain why small town America remains much the same. It appears that Blue staters realize they cannot connect with people in "flyover country". I doubt they'll do anything to bridge that gap. They can't. They simply cannot see the world through red state eyes. They'll make some noises about "moving to the center" but in the end, the MoveOn wing of the party is driving the bus so you'll get something akin to Dean 2.0.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
