I'm thinking it would be better to fire a Democrat is he's convicted. Better yet, he should stage a press conference challenging any Democrat that believes him to be guilty to settle the issue with a baseball bat duel. That would rock. At this point, I'd just like to see either of the parties just drop the ruse and take the position of the Party of True Evil®. Let's get serious about this thing. Pro-Wrestling serious. Disputes such as this one could and should be settled by cage match, preferably to the death. CSPAN could go PPV. I like my contrasts to be STARK! Enough of this mamby-pamby respectful disagreement crap!

Politicians have WAY too much power and are WAY too corrupt for getting caught red-handed abusing power to only result in quietly losing one's job only to get some cushy ambassadorship or trustee position. Any sort of perceived violation of ethics standards should result in immediate and crazy-painful punishment, live on TV. They should erect a Trebuchet atop the Justice Dept building for launching errant legislators generally toward the Potomac, but I'm not talking about punishment administered austerely after some sort of official trial process... I'm thinking good ol' Angry-Mob-Justice with torches and pitchforks and whatnot.

I want to see people dragged kicking and screaming out of $1000/ plate luncheons as embarrassingly as possible and then shoved into a plexi-glass container filled with angry bees because they cast a deciding vote for or against something important.

Don't just TELL me your opponent is voting against my best interests, dammit! Show me how far you're willing to go to represent me! Get pissed off when someone endangers my very lifestyle if you want me to take you seriously!

We also need to make the process of Pork a bit more challenging. It's pretty obvious that the practice won't be ending anytime soon, and simply hoping that any politician's conscience will somehow temper their lust for public funds diverted into private gains just ain't working.

You want my money to use as payola or return an election favor? Fine. Earn it. I'm talking earn it Fear Factor style. Again, live on TV, like a game-show.

I want to see legislators required to expend a bit more effort toward this process than just keeping it quiet or denying it if it ever comes up. You need to funnel a million dollars homeward to pay off some benefactor, Fine. We understand that's a necessary part of political life. All you have to do to earn your Pork is eat this baby pig raw.

First, you'll have to catch him, of course.

Now, if you don't finish him off within the confines of our 30 minute show, or you puke, then you didn't want it bad enough and a-catapulting we go.
