Anyone want to handicap the growing brawl between the House and Senate? After the usual R vs D crap that will roll around you have the great unsaid. Be it R or D controlled the House regards the Senate about one notch above crap.

It cranked up a lot before LBJ ( in my life time ) became VP and accelerated when Tip was Speaker. It started breaking hard again ( but not much media focus ) when Sen. Reid would not produce a budget the first two years of Mr Obama's term. As the D's rallied to do the Health Care bill it was hidden but with the loss of the majority of the Blue Dog D's in the Senate, add the Tea Party, the plot thickens. So outside the usual election year bs the conflict is institutional. The House really dislikes the Senate be it D or R driven and these two bodies of government appear to be going to get it on.

So who is going to take it two out of three? My bet is on the House because they are so vulnerable with public frustration and are motivated.

Throw the rascals out!

But whose rascals?

The way re-districting is set up, the incumbant is generally guaranteed re-election.

What i would like to see, but would certainly be politically impossible, is that each house district would be some constructed that to was 50:50 R:D. That way, re-election would not be guaranteed.

That may also explain the rift between the House and Sernate. The Senate has to appeal to voters statewide while House doesn't.

Throw them all out. Both sides, and the independants. Start over.

I like the way you think Andy!
