I want nothing to do with the Tea Party, but if people would stop and analyze the effectiveness of their representative every election, instead of rotely voting for the same person, because of their party, every time, it would stop the nonsense in Congress.  

I actually wrote to Shelby about this, and he sent back a rather arrogant letter about how the people decide every time they vote.  I feel that the founding fathers never intended or envisioned a professional politician, since politics were a side line for them, not a career.  

So if we want change, stop voting the party and start voting the person.  Shelby is a good example of someone that should have been thrown out by the voters years ago.  And he'll continue to run, until he falls over dead.  Look at McCain - incurable Brain Cancer with a terrible prognosis and he won't quit and go home.  NO, he'll continue to hold his seat, run his mouth until he actually dies - becasue his widow will get a bigger benefit if he dies on the job.
