I honestly don’t know what the hell happens to these people when they get to Washington. That city really is a deadly disease.This is a classic case of Beltway disease, that affliction that hits people once they've been in office in Washington for more than...oh, ten minutes or so. They begin to believe that EVERY issue has a federal government solution. It warps their minds. How else can you explain wasting time on college football?
Congressman Joe Barton (quasi-R - TX) apparently has so much time on his hands that he is teaming up with like-minded big-government nationalists to try to tell the American people and colleges around the nation how it must determine it’s college football national champion. Indeed, his bill has passed out of the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection Subcommittee – and Barton has had “good conversations” with those bastions of limited government, Henry Waxman and Barack Obama, about moving the bill forward.
Well, thank goodness these guys are on the ball, or how would we survive? How could we possibly sort this out without the wisdom of Washington, D.C. – those great men and women who have given us the over $12 Trillion in debt, the TARP program, Katrina-relief and now want to tell you what health care you can have.
The current college football D-I national championship system has serious flaws. And good conservatives can believe it needs a playoff system - just as good conservatives can believe it does not. I don’t care to address the merits of a playoff or different system here, because that’s not the point.
The point is this: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRIGGING MIND? SERIOUSLY? We’re at war with crazy terrorists who want to kill us… We’re fighting the biggest assault on liberty in our lifetimes with the likely Washington takeover of our healthcare system… We are bleeding money out of every pores of our collective body… and YOU idiots want to “fix” the college football playoff system?
Even worse - how can someone consider himself conservative and believe that it is the business of our national government in Washington, D.C. to determine how college football national champions are determined? You can blather on all you want about “interstate commerce” and other nonsense, but you can’t actually believe that Washington should take up this issue – ever, much less right now – and believe in a limited national government.
God help us with “conservatives” like this.
This is as good an argument for term limits as you'll ever want to find.

I have come to believe that a goodly number of those who make their presence known in the halls of Congress somehow have mislaid their brains. The writer in this article says it rightly so, these people are out of their mind. We do have things much more important to deal with here in America than spending time on College Sports. The answer to all of this, Remember Who They All Are when next November comes, VOTE them out of a job.
