If I were a Republi-con, I would want the teabaggers to go back to their Libertarian Party and get elected on their own instead of hiding behind our coattails.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
An idea to circumvent Citizens United: Change the rules of both houses of Congress so that the members that get the least money donated from particular industries are the ones that get appointed to the committees that oversee those industries. Such a rule wouldn't make corporate whores less likely to get elected, but it would keep them away from powerful positions of influence over relevant legislation. (The corporate loophole would, of course, be to disguise their donations.)
