Look...these times are hard on everyone. I've developed some political advocacy as a sort of second career----and it pays nothing! You just have to do it. When I have spoken to the conservative elected officials I say that this is a difficult time to be a politician, so I hope they understand it upfront. We had one local state representative who after a couple of terms just bowed out to go back to her real estate profession. It's a very divisive time, especially for someone who just got into political office. And it is not only divisive on the national level, that is also true in so many localities because certain sectors have entrenched themselves and figured out how to milk the system. So trying to solve that takes an extra portion of dedication.

Additionally the conservative politicos don't seem to be as diehard as the liberal ones. Around here the political gulf is enormous---but I can see how a lot of younger generation just see their political involvement as the source of their life meaning. Nobody is really going to kick them out the movement if they don't live up to the highest expectations or to some membership agreement. So in that sense it is a very tolerant social movement---you can experience the air and excitement of it when you want, and bag it when you don't.

Maybe the US House would still have a GOP majority---but a bunch of them just chose to retire, losing the incumbent advantage in their districts. They were doing the conservative thing of looking out for Number One. But the liberal ones hang in there like it is some do-or-die cause for them. And the leadership has a death grip on things.

This is like having some 300 lb creep mug you in the alley. How do you get loose from him? The liberals have the upper hand and have had it for some time. I guess conservatives have to adopt their position as a religious view too.

Schumer said, "The Wall Would Be Expensive And Ineffective." I Say, Congress Is Expensive And Ineffective.
