Well, it seems you are the exception to the rule in this forum, Max. Not sure what your age is, but this is clearly a Baby Boomer type forum and those folks picked sides in the 60s and 70s and care more about sticking to their "values" than anything else. Not ever changing is a "value" to both sides, as is opposing the other side's "values". Welcome to today's Congress. I can't wait until 2018 when they are all finally booted from office by the rising tide they neither understand nor appreciate. Batten down the hatches and hope we all survive until then.

This Boomer would be perfectly happy with all of the entrenched congressmen (maybe I'd make an exception for those who won in first time in the last election) to be booted out.

In a tit for tat kinda way:

Former congressman and Congressional Black Caucus member Artur Davis joins Republican Party.
