There ARE some fairly good, traditionally conservative bills, Senator Kyl's for one, that will never see the light of day in the Senate because it is run by the GOPs effete, elitist globalization-trumps-sovereignty wing. They're more interested in the health of the largest Corporations, and the wealthy transnationalists that run them, than they are in the well-being of our children. Democrats of this stripe are more interested in creating a permanently social-welfare-dependent underclass of future registered leftists than they are in seeing people move up in society.

If your are middle class and your senator says he cares about you to your face, he's either pandering or lying. Both camps are basically saying in just about everything they do: "to hell with the middle class. It gets in our way too much and never was good for much of anything. If the middle class is so great, how come they don't write bigger checks to my party and my campaign account." They know it will be so much easier to control a majority that is primarily subervient, underclass serfs while hoping against hope that nobody ever again learns that our system actually mandates that they serve only at our consent.

On immigration, the Senate is filled with modern-day Marie Antoinettes. They turn their backs on us to embrace invading low-IQ foreigners while saying under their breath, "let the citizens eat dirt."

I do not even blame McCain for campaign finance reform. He presented something he believed in, our president signed into law a bill he didn't believe in. Bush wanted the Supreme Court to do his dirty work, this was the real politcal bankruptcy of McCain- Feingold.
