A thoughtful and well-written reminder of how Hastert and Co. have gone astray. Our Founding Fathers were indeed prescient. Their remarkable document has withstood not only the test of time, but also various attacks by Congressional hacks whose prime obligation is to the very document they seek to distort.

p>You claim that some of the Founders were against term limits for Congress; that may indeed be so. However, I doubt that even these intellectual giants could have foreseen the practice by professional politicians to rig districts by gerrymandering so as to deprive the "citizenry to choose its favorite representatives." With perhaps only 20 Congressional districts out of 435 in "play," I suspect our Founders might have a jaundiced view of this faux "competitive" process. br> -- A. DiPentima /p>

We can soft-pedal the effects of illegal immigrants overrunning our country, to the tune of unreported billions of dollars in taxes for which legitimate U.S. citizens are held harshly accountable, regardless of their origins, but let one Congressman be held accountable for his criminal acts and all Hastert breaks loose. The Republicans warn us of the consequences of Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker of the House, should us ignorant rubes and hicks fail to support them in November. However, at least Nancy Pelosi can be entertaining, in contrast to some fat non-entity whose strongest position to date, other than Pro-Pork, is Pro-Congressional Criminality.

p>(Official notice to all U.S. citizens, especially the Republican base: That is not a Seinfeld marathon you have been watching in Washington since the Contract With America Revolution in 1994. That actually IS the REAL U.S. Government, led by Republicans, in actual action). br> -- Gene Wright
