How about we vote out our own representatives if they are doing a bad job every election? I have no wish to "kick them all out", as far as I know my representative is doing a fine job.
Also, why is it we have to vilify 'special interests' and 'lobbyists'? People will always 'lobby' their own interests to their elected representative, that's the whole point of having a representative, so he/she can represent your best interests.
I can't vote on other state's senators and congressmen. I dont think you should leave anyone in for more than a term or two, even if they are doing a good job. The position of power we give to them should be temporary in order to stave off corrupting influences.
You don't see any problem with how our politicians are governing and who they let influence their decisions?
I'm not vilifying special interests or lobbyists, i'm calling them out for what they have been doing. To tell the truth, even if the truth is ugly for them, is not villifying.
However when the politicians listen to rich special interests because they need the wealth of those interests to get reelected the people have no power. If we start voting them out the politicans will see a clear choice....listen to the people over the corporate sponsored lobbyists or be fired by the people you are supposed to represent.

I think that we are getting ready to do just that, people are so fed up. Special interests, lobbyists have no business running this country, they do nothing good for the people. Power corrupts, we need term limits in the congress and the senate. We turn those people over every 4-6 years and lobbyists and special interests don't have the time to get their hooks into them.

Why do you want to take away people's right to vote for who they want to?
Better idea:
Elect me President!
I can promise you that if you all would elect me President your lives would become very, very exciting!
I live in Congressman Steny Hoyer's district. I don't like the guy, but the politician who's about to run against him is worse, so I'm going to opt to keep Hoyer in another term. As for my state's governor's race I'm def voting third party. O'Malley's got to go and the Republicans are more then likely either putting up the governor that Maryland Bob Erhlich. Both of them have been absolute disasters for the state. I'm hoping O'Malley looses the Democratic primary and they put up somebody worth voting for... doubt it though. The democratic establishment in maryland is very strong and is pushing behind O'Malley pretty nicely. Bastards.
Replacing remocrats with depublicans isn't kicking anyone out.....It's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
You miss the point. You can replace democrats with new democrats for all we care just get rid of EVERYONE who is in there now.

Because they are scum. They corrupt the system. They steal from the voice of the people. They are the conduits of graft from those corporations that are intrenched like leaches burried deep into the bussom which is our treasury and self interest.
Point....Why do our representatives give billions in corporate welfare to the oil companies that squeeze every drop of blood from our economy with oil owned by us leased to these vermin, refined and sold back to us at as high a price as they think they could get away with. I have an idea to help get the economy on its feet tuite suite. Throw these vultures that own the oil companies and those that speculate on this critical comodity that shouls be considered part of our national security, into jail,charge them with treason and execute them. Take nationalize all oil operations. Gas would go down to less than a dollar a gallon immediately. That would lower the cost of all goods and sevices immediately. Imagine what it would do for the economy if every american had an extra couple of hundred dollars a month for the next twenty years paying for us made goods that would cost 25 per cent less. Naw never mind...you chumps just keep taking it up the ass and pretending you are in love with the rapists.
Framing a too bright picture, or how......
My position is somewhat in between, and without much thinking I have positioned myself in a gray zone, in between a slight worry about environmental impact and a simultaneous longing for progress. My slightly undecided (uninformed) point of view has made me, and a lot of Americans, the perfect victim for framing.
