What?

Protest the President!

Risk losing "privileges" associated with belonging to the World's Most 
Exclusive Club?

After all those years of ass-kissing, lobbyist-embracing and phoney-baloney 
"messages to my constituents"?

Ain't gonna happen.  'Cause almost all of them are now part of the Ruling 
Class!  Have no concern for peasants, peons and hoi polloi other than ritual 
voting to ensure their extended tenure safe within their gerrymandered 
districts or bought and paid for Senatorial seats.

What WAS it I used to say?

All Must Go.

(well, maybe not Finegold and Barbara Boxer.)
