I don't agree with this, Abi. When you fix something that is broken you keep the good parts.

At this point, I'm not convinced there are all that many good parts currently in Washington. The Republican party is a big, fat failure, IMO. All of the old, stodgy, fence riding, "don't want to offend anyone" politicians need to go away. I'm actually irritated that Joe Wilson apologized for his outburst. I don't care that it was rude or lacking in decorum--why is he apologizing for stating his opinion? Would a democrat do the same? The Republicans are so busy stumbling over themselves trying to appease liberals, they can't even do what we're voting them into office to do.
IMO, if a few good apples get tossed out, they can find a way to get back in. I think 100% fresh blood would make a BIG difference, and take away a lot of double dealing, corrupt power. At the very least, voters need to take a hard look at every single candidate and make sure they're voting them in or back in because they are going to follow through, and have a record of speaking up & speaking out with votes to match their rhetoric.
