I just heard this and I think it is pretty good.
"There are two parties in Washington, the stupid party and the evil party. When they come together and make a deal it is bipartisan, evil and stupid. The country loses."

Some things that would save this country.
Cut, Cap and Balance.
One five year term for the Presidency.
Term limits for Congress.
The Fair Tax.
