I agree with you and your disgust Brad but I disagree with a portion of your solution.

It is time for rational, fiscally responsible "citizens" to take back our corrupted Government from any and all "political parties!"   Governance and representation should be 'by the People and for the People', not by the party of choice for the party of choice.  

It is this kind of blind obedience and subservience to a 'party platform' which has screwed up this entire Nation as well as the State of Alaska which is supposed to be full of free thinkers.
