The problem with congress is that there are far too many Dan Sullivans. Dan Sullivans are mindless sycophants who don't have intellectual chops to think for themselves. They always do what they're told by party leaders. 

It's a shame that so many Alaskans think toeing the party line is them most important element in an elected official. But what do you expect from people that have sent Don Young to DC for 45 consecutive years.
