#1 Sorry, Charlie, no do-overs. I don't give a rat's backside about how centrist you are, your experience, your contacts in the gummint, blah, blah, blah. You might not be an actual incumbent, but having been a SIX-TERM congressturd means you HAD to be able to see the mess we were about to get into, didn't do jack squat to prevent it, and therefore qualify as being part of the phuecking problem.

NO INCUMBENTS. NO EXCEPTIONS.

#2 Ricky, I think you are right. I don't remember hearing about Bass warning us about this collapse and trying to do something different. The GOPs only bright spot is that they aren't quite as bad as the Dems.

#3 One concern I have with the 'no incumbents period' approach is that then you run the risk of a Congress full of inexperienced people who haven't learned the lessons there to be learned.

As the current Administration demonstrates, there are risks involved in going that way.

#4 I can see the attack ads now:

"Charlie Bass, that bigmouth, is running for office again....There's something fishy about him...you may have thought thought he was washed up, but he's back, slimy as ever, selling the same old line, carping about the president just for the halibut.

"Don't let Charlie Bass hook you again."

#5 You should be ashamed of yourself, Mike, but I rather imagine you aren't in the least. ;-)
