George Will re VRWC

Columnist George Will, writing in The Washington Post comments on Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-R).  A good read, here is the final paragraph:
When she was a teenager in Anoka, Minn., she was a nanny for a young girl named Gretchen Carlson. Today, Carlson, a Stanford honors graduate who studied at Oxford, is a host of "Fox & Friends," the morning show on -- wouldn't you know -- Fox News Channel. See how far ahead the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy plans?
Between the Tea Party folks and people like Representative Michele Bachmann, there is a chance the Republican Party can again find its way.

    The best possible thing for this country is the dissolution of BOTH parties.

    OK, I get your point and understand how that might improve things.  My question is, are we going to continue the current financing system for campaigns or come up with something that encourages the less well off and less well connected to run?  That is to say, how do we get you elected?  How do we find the $1.5 million (or so) it would take to defeat Rep Niki Tsongas—assuming that was our goal.

    Then, once elected, how do we keep Nancy Pelosi from telling you to go pound sand re Committee assignments and office space?  Or do you think Nancy would just go away?  Maybe your plan is even better than I thought.

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
