Our country would be a lot better off there were more McCains and Liebermans in Washington and a lot less Pelosis and Reids.
Was the country fantastic before 2007? Because that's basically what complete Republican control looks like.
Was the country fantastic? Certainly not. Congress has spent way too much and would continue to be doing so if President Bush hadn't found the pen to veto pork that he seemed to have misplaced for the previous six years.
But, my comment was that McCain and Lieberman are two men that understand what it means to be an elected official and put the best interest of the country above trying to score political points for their respective parties so that their party can win elections. There are some from both sides of the aisle that go to Washington to lead and there are those from both sides of the aisle that go to play petty politics and demonize people to try and score a political point. Pelosi and Reid have left no doubt where they fall.
