The GOP Parade of Discredited Neocons Hits the Airwaves

Isn't it amazing that there haven't been any repercussions from that? A bill proposing a sensible restructuring of student debt gets gleefully torpedoed and... yawn.

Although maybe we'll see it at the ballot box.

I swear with some of these guys at this point it's like they're given more points if they demonstrate absolutely no compassion, concern for the non-wealthy and have no problem saying the most offensive things about all groups that aren't them.

I'm serious. It seems that all of them spend most of their time going from TV "interview" to interview, where the main priority is dumping the blame for ____________ on the other guy. Who "wins" depends on who's talking and what the venue is (if it's, Party-friendly, for instance).

John McCain comes to mind--when does that guy ever work? He's always in front of a camera, dropping his non-wisdom on all of us.

Harry Reid, the same.

Take away the cameras and then politicians might have to actually be evaluated on what they're actually doing, not how well they've positioned themselves in their endless TV appearances.

I thought about this with the gov't shutdown. I thought: why not refuse to give any of them any airtime until the problem is resolved?

If you had children and one of them spilled cooking oil all over the floor, would you spend days, weeks, months listening to them all blame each other? Or would you tell them to STFU and clean it up--all of them?
