59 percent say they'd kick out all members of House, Senate

3 in 5 voters: Boot<BR>every congressman

I vote for that. Every single one of them.

Seems like a real good idea to me. I don't see much difference between republicans and democrats in this regard- they all fleeced the country....

Indicted Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), who was videotaped by the FBI receiving $100,000 in $100 bills, much of which was later recovered from his home's freezer in an FBI raid, was the top vote-getter Saturday in a field of seven candidates in Louisiana's Democratic primary.

We went to breakfast yesterday and there was a man standing on the corner with a sign that said "VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY/GIRL" and the response was amazing. If people want a real change, then thats the best way to do it. Get rid of all of them on one big lump, when you see the word incumbant you should pull the lever for the other person.

But that includes Obama and McCain. Oh, noes! Can't have that!

Why then does it surprise anyone in his district when the services that they think are owed to them by the Fed. never seem to come out to their satisfaction? You vote for a crook , thats exactly what you get to represent you.

I love this idea. 74 out of 100 Senators gone. And the 228+ House of Representatives. They can join Bush in the unemployment line.

Two things to clean up 95% of bullshit in Congress:
1. Term limits.
2. Fair or Flat Tax with no meddling allowed.

how about a cap on how much the govt can spend every year?

the best view is from the middle

“Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.” Plato

“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other” Oscar Ameringer

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ... The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." James Madison

You'd end up with a de-facto budget that way. I'd rather see spending decreased over time by elimination of all social programs.

Public assistance is not inherently evil - ask any victim of Katrina.

Profiting from it is evil.

Also bad, but not necessarily evil, is those benefitting from public assistance not understanding that it is assistance, not an entitlement, which needs to be appreciated and paid back if possible.

We don't need Term Limits or Campaign Finance reform. All we need is a return to electing our reps on the basis of population rather than some set number.

If you elected reps 1 for every 250,000, or less, you would reduce the need for money, because the districts would be smaller. You would reduce the need and influence of staffs because members could do the work themselves. You could reduce the number of committee assignments because there would be enough members to go around.

It has the added benefit of being the system we started out with. Change it BACK!!!
