Arizona Republic Argues for Election of More Democrats

Okay, well not exactly...

In today's (1/5/06) lead editorial, the powers that be at the Arizona Republic argue that changes need to be made to change a system that is a "...very flawed, money-driven representative democracy into a far less noble pursuit" into something where lawmakers remember who they work for.

Since Abramoff has "sterling Republican Party connections," doen't it seem plausible that Democrats should take the places of all Republican tainted by the current and coming scandals? Doesn't it seem right that voters should toss out those members of Congress who, as the Republic states has gone through "...the dangerous devolution of a democracy from a system of voters and elected officials to a system that has slipped hired guns in between?"

The Republic says that "Out of the coming headline-grabbing scandals, "reform" will certainly come. We ought to be wary of that, too." Using the typical conservative spin, why change the system with the current batch of people who will cover their own behinds in an effort to stay in office. I say elect Democrats to those seats and then do the reform.

Throw the bums out!
