Yep. The times they are a-changin'.

Conservative democrats, and liberal republicans.

There's a lot of people starting to cross party lines, on a "lot" of stuff.

"Part" of that, is what always goes on before elections.

I suspect though, that "part" of it, is something else.

I really would be, "less and less", surprised, if a viable third party were to emerge. It's like, "everyone's" unhappy. As an ex-Republican, I'm pissed, and if I were a Dem, I'd be even more pissed. As you say, JP, the Dems have done squat, like, nothing.

On the other hand, it seems like they're starting to flex their muscles a little, so we'll see what that means (probably nothing, would be my guess)....

But yeah, did you see the thing on C-SPAN, about the seating arrangement in Congress? That was great, it's like, "why are these people sitting where they are?"....
