So, this latest story about MTG caused a personal epiphany concerning the state of American politics and why Washington cannot get anything helpful or useful done — there are really a lot of genuinely stupid people in office across the political spectrum.
Of course, this also reflects the lack of critical thinking abilities by the various electorates that are sending these people who swim in the shallow end of the gene pool to serve.
Perhaps it is high time we required the same level of personal scrutiny to political offices as we do to our children’s daycare providers or make potential political candidates pass the same level of screening as law enforcement officers or members of the armed forces.
No system is perfect, but right now it seems people are picking political representation like they would pick a puppy from the pet store — the one that makes the most noise and cries for your attention gets to go home with you. It is only after you get it home that you discover it chews everything up and poops and pees all over your new carpet.

Perfect analogy.
Republicans seem to take pride in electing the loudest, crudest voices… for them it’s not about legislating it’s only about pissing off liberals.
