- datatribe, on 10/06/2008, -0/+31There are very few true Americans serving in Congress now. Just look how many voted for that bail out... each one needs to be dismissed and sent for remedial financial education.
- yaridanjo, on 10/06/2008, -3/+26Do NOT vote for anyone who is a democrat or a republican. JUST SAY NO TO BOTH PARTIES! That would be a good start!
- orlandocajun, on 10/06/2008, -0/+22What they really mean is they want to throw out someone else's Congressman. With the exception of a handful in Congress, they're all crooks.
They say throw them out, but they all will re-elect the crook representing their district. It's a virtual certainty. - alanhlake, on 10/06/2008, -3/+23If they'd elect Obama, they'd re-elect Congress -- and follow the anti-christ.
- proveritas, on 10/06/2008, -0/+18We have the right to abolish our present government as stated in the Declaration of Independence. Will Rasmussen ask that question of us?
"...That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT AND TO INSTITUTE NEW GOVERNMENT to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...." - vpats, on 10/06/2008, -1/+17I've been saying this for as long as NObama has been running for Comrade President, Give Congress a good ol' fashioned emema. For ages now I hear the Presidential blame game, "it's Clinton's doings, or its' Bush's doing." Then there is the party blame, "it's those democrats ... no, it's the republicans."
Well folks I've got news for everybody ...IT IS BOTH OF THEM, the democrats and the republicans. Congress is simply out of control. I don't know about you, but I've already purchased my pitchfork, I just need to find somebody with tar and somebody who has a chicken farm.
I have an idea for CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, and its the return to a Constitutional Federal Government. - downs1, on 10/06/2008, -0/+15Some in Congress have been there for 30 years. They don't look at the nation as the common citizens do. Many have become quite wealthy during their time in office through various deals and manipulations. They vote themselves pay raises, and exempt themselves from regulations that affect every one else. To say that there is corruption is putting it mildly. Over the last few decades look at how our freedoms have been taken from us without a whimper from Congress. Look at the weak stance by many on protection of our freedoms from activist judges in the courts and on the Supreme Court. There are a few decent men and women in leadership, but not many. Perhaps it is time to start afresh. But be aware that it will take a while for the new people to undo the garbage from the last bunch. And be aware that many if not most of the incumbents will not go quietly. Also, some will willfully sabotage such a move by the voters. These people are not trustworthy and they know the current sustem.
- pjr12345, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14My representative voted against this stinking, pork-laden, insult to his constituency. Yet both my senators voted for it. I only regret that I have but one senator to vote against this election.
Vote all the "Yes" votes out!!!! - goldenrule4, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14orlandocajun is exactly right, it is always "the other guy's congressman" when the time comes to throw them out. every year there are more and more on the government dole so the democrat base keeps getting larger, which is of course by design. unfortunately we are left to fight with a RINO as a "leader" so is a no win situation for the few that still care about the constitution.
yaridanjo is also right: JUST SAY NO TO BOTH PARTIES. - mdowse, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm going to vote against my elected officials.
- hugothecommie, on 10/06/2008, -1/+14So who is out of touch? Only 25% of Democrats would remove the whole bunch. Amazing how we always hear about how out of touch Conservatives are with the country but when nearly 60% of Americans say throw the bums out, lefties say let's keep them so they can control our entire lives and treat us like servants. The Obama base is the 30% of Americans who pay no taxes yet he says he is going to give a tax break to 95% of Americans. So he figures that most Americans are products of the public school system. That means that 95% minus the 30% equals 5% of the Americans who are going to be paying all the taxes. This means, loss of jobs, higher food prices, higher fuel prices, food shortages, government controlled health care, seniors left to die because they won't be allowed the care they need. After all, this is the party of all caring, all knowing, higher moral authority. Yep, communism is on it's way to a neighborhood near you. Won't it be fun?

- Ruler4you, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12I think if the problem of corruption wasn't so ubiquitous we might have another choice. We can save our selves a lot of money if we just put bars in the windows of the House and the Senate and lock the doors. These guys are a criminal cabal. They HID this from us! When will you people wake up!
- Christianptriot, on 10/06/2008, -0/+11Thomas Jefferson and the founding fathers NEVER intended for politics or public office to be a career, and Washington DC was never designed to have residents. We are about 200 years past due for a complete house-cleaning on the Congressionals, political appointees adn others who make a living off the American government system.
Vote out ANY rep. or senator who is asking for re-election to third term or higher - I think that some of them need at least one full term to get the hang of the job and another to actually earn their pay. After that they are earning something else and need to get out. - Lucee, on 10/06/2008, -0/+11World Government and the identity tattoo are just around the corner.
- bfrusa, on 10/06/2008, -0/+11"yes - throw out all the cogressmen except mine..."
Not here! I WANT my congressmen and senators thrown out NOW! I'm out here in "Fruits and Nuts Land." I can't stand Dementia-impaired Feinstein and the raving loon (and carpetbagger) Boxer. They're all screwheads except Duncan Hunter in San Diego (or somewhere down south). Flush that toilet NOW!
Sic Semper Fidelis - SandWMan, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10People are idiots. They want to get rid of all the other congressmen because of their "pork barrel spending", but they LOVE their own congressman because "he's bringin' home the bacon"...
morons. - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10Yes it is. As long as those crooks keep bringing home the bacon, there won't be any significant changes.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10"The poll showed, however, that despite overall dissatisfaction, Democratic voters were more hesitant to throw the out the current, Democrat-controlled Congress."
Well that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. I expect that of those 30 percent of Americans who don't pay any income tax, 99 percent are democrats. They aren't going to cut off the hand that feeds them. Without some kind of forced term limit for these suck-asses, and without an elimination of this bloated income tax code, their ain't gonna be any peaceful change. - goldenrule4, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10each one should be tried for treason.
- AntiDonkey, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10Unfortunately orlandocajun is probably right. It's strange, the vast majority of voters stick by their congressman like a fan does with the home town team.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10What is the actual process for abolishing the current government? By armed revolution? Online petition? Asking nicely? I suspect the first option is the only way. No wonder the government doesn't want us having any weapons.
- jer72, on 10/06/2008, -1/+10I am sick and tired of our elected officials getting into office and slapping our faces. I want Congress members and a President that honors the Constitution, does what the American people voted them into office for, and has integrity to up hold the will of the people.
Being in the Blue state of California I have decided to not vote for either Obama the Socialist or McCain the false Conservative. Both of them voted for this crap called the Bailout, otherwise known as the Raping of Middle Americans. - Slugo, on 10/06/2008, -1/+10Good point
- inboxnews, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9"17 percent of voters polled said they would be willing to keep the current legislature." Talk about 'out-of-touch'. 17% of crazy.
- nippinawassee, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8It's been for years: monkey see, monkey do. The Ted Kennedy's have taught the new electees all the tricks.
A manure cake, iced with wonderful icing, is beautiful but one bite and it's still manure. Same with the sugarcoating that all of the legislators seem to ladel out that enables them to stay in office - voting time brings out the icing - being re-elected brings out the manure. Too late, too long - term limits will help, but not cure, all of this. Term limits means they don't languish in office for a lifetime (kennedy, etc.) never holding a real job - never knowing what it takes to EARN a living - never knowing what it is to take ORDERS from a boss and never knowing the results of not performing as the BOSS wants. NEVER knowing what the average citizens goes through on a daily basis.
Get rid of them - our problems were lurking but not without efforts by conservatives to stop the problem - our recent world embarrassment and total unnecessary joke in Washington - was the result of the government being controlled by the liberals for the last few years AND their buddies in the financial markets. They've ALL proved they are the ones who seem to think the job they hold provides them with millions of dollars of UNEARNED money - in my book, that's stealing.
In BO's country, that would mean severing of the hands. Good idea, huh? - pilgrim2497, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8Send your post to everyone in America and the World. Good job.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8There is a line in the great musical show 1776 where Edward Rutledge sings "Molasses to Rum To Slaves" and a line in the song asks: "WHO STINKETH THE MOST?" regarding the South who owned slaves or the North who bought them and brought them from Africa for the South.
Today you can apply it to our national financial situation. "WHO STINKETH THE MOST?" - watnext, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7My Congressman, Bill Young, of Pinellas County FL voted against it. He is a champion for the Republican Party and of Veterans. He got my vote as I voted ABSENTEE last week.
- pilgrim2497, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7If Americans don't return to the God who inspired the Constitution, then they are "easy pickins" for the liars in the media, for Obama, and ultimately for the other god of radical Islam.
- pharret, on 10/06/2008, -0/+71) Throw them all out. (even mine. . .especially mine)
2) Cut the numbers in the House in half.
3) Limit their terms.
4) Hold them accountable. . . .and if they are caught with their hand in the pot send them to prison, min. 20 years. - thistlebar, on 10/06/2008, -2/+8Some of you have already nailed it. Throw out everyone else's corrupt politician except mine! Sure would like to see a complete overhaul, but it won't happen.
- proveritas, on 10/06/2008, -0/+6I have no idea - but armed revolution sounds good!
- mayeeden, on 10/06/2008, -0/+6Hey Folks! Our wisdom filled & God fearing founding fathers formed a Constitutional Republic government knowing that monarchies and even democracy can be abused and threaten liberty. Since that time, our Constitutional currency which is to be Gold & Silver coin and managed by the Congress, has been given away to a private bank with shareholders who now give us I.O.U's printed with colored ink on wood pulp. The conspirator congressmen crept in under cover to Jekyll Island, Georgia in 1913 and passed that "Law" without the consent of the people. In 1933 the lawful gold ((Money)) was confiscated from the people with horrendous penalties promised to those who did not put their hands up and turn it over. 1964 saw the second half of the robbery when the silver coinage was discontinued. Now we have wood pulp and pot metal for currency and the central banks hold most of the gold. These same types have now seized our form of Government which they call "The World's greatest Democracy" and just do as they please when they please. Democracy at least gives the 51% rule over the 49% but when Nancy Pelosi receives 91,000 emails concerning the bailout, and 85,000 are against it...let me do some math here...91,000 minus 85,000 = 6,000....new definition of democracy is 85,000 against & 6,000 for = Bailout law. It has been turned inside out and upside down. If you want something in Amerika, vote against it with the majority and if you are on the side of the Billionaire Bankers and Gamblers with their lobbyists, you Win!!! If you are on the side of the hard working taxpayers you lose. Vote the Bums out. Surveys show a 96% re-election of these creeps because people are to lazy to either study their voting records or just vote familiar party lines because they don't have to think at all, just fill in a little circle with ink beside their name. Vote them out this time or go get fitted for you new set of handcuffs. It may already be to late. God in Heaven please help us.
- GlobalRoamer, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5Good point vpats,
The Constitution of the United States establishes four responsibilities for the President; 1. coin money, 2. sign treaties, 3. national defense, and 4. run a post office.
If it wasn't for all of our courageous heroes who put their lives on the line for us I would say we are not doing very good on any of the four.
If we get the politicians out of national defense there would never have been a 9/11 - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5Dr. Edwin Vieira would certainly have an answer for this.
http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwinA.htm - inboxnews, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5Who would try them?
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+5The reason we get stuck with career politicians is the 17th Amendment. 1913 was a treasonous, disastrous year for our republic with the announcement the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified (it clearly was NOT), the announcement that the Seventeenth Amendment was ratified (it clearly was NOT) and passage of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. All in the same year. All necessary for The Destroyers to finally take control of our republic. After the fraudulent Seventeenth Amendment went into effect, U.S. senators were then elected instead of the state legislatures appointing them. The states lost their suffrage rights, they no longer had any representation in Washington, D.C., and the federal machine has walked all over them since. As we can see right now, states like Arizona and California are saddled with 'counterfeit' senators whose political ideology is communism, while they pass themselves off as either Republican or Democrat: McCain in Arizona and the twin evils in California, Boxer and Feinstein.
This issue is one of the most important problems facing this nation today, yet few know anything about it. These public servants in the state house will soon realize that it's to their utmost advantage to press this issue and for the sake of our Republic, this challenge must be made to restore the balance between the states and the people. America is not a democracy of mob rule, but that's exactly what has happened with the election of U.S. senators. For those who might knee jerk this would cause constitutional chaos, I can't highly recommend enough Judge Andrew Napolitano's excellent book, "Constitutional Chaos." We're already in constitutional chaos on a hundred issues and the situation will only continue to deteriorate without immediate action.
"The Seventeenth Amendment was never properly ratified. I have seen the proof with my own eyes at the National Archives and from the documents obtained by Bill Benson from all 48 state legislatures in his work, "Proof the 17th Amendment Was Not Ratified." I also collected court certified documents on this from the bowels of the California State Archives. They are incontrovertible and prove without question that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, on May 31, 1913, knowingly and willfully issued a memo declaring the Seventeenth Amendment ratified even though he knew the required number of states did not ratify it." Link: http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd195.htm
The courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have been very specific on the rigid requirements for ratification. There can be no mistake fraud was committed and that every U.S. senator since 1913 sits in office under a law that does not exist. U.S. senators ratify treaties, confirm federal judges, U.S. Supreme Court justices and hold impeachment trials. Legally, our participation in the United Nations, every destructive trade treaty, i.e., NAFTA, GATT, Roe v. Wade and any other legislative acts committed by U.S. senators these past 93 years are invalid.
The courts refuse to touch this issue because they don't have the backbone. While several states have introduced resolutions to nix the Seventeenth Amendment (introduced by patriotic representatives and killed by Republicans in every instance), realistically, there's no question this current crop of Congress will never do the right thing. Therefore, it is up to the people and the States of the Union. One thing that doesn't help the situation is so-called constitutionalists running for the U.S. Senate who refuse to pursue the path of integrity. Over the past decade I have been contacted by many candidates running for the U.S. Senate on 'alternative party' tickets asking for my endorsement and support. When I tell them about the Seventeenth Amendment and the fact that they are running for office under a law that doesn't exist, they don't care and give me all kinds of excuses, i.e., "After I'm elected, I'll bring this out." No. You don't rob a bank and say, "Gee, after I'm done using the money for a good reason, I'll put it back." Are we a nation of laws or lies?
The people must get the proof and begin a systematic assault (non violent, of course) on their state legislatures to appoint two U.S. senators to represent them and send them to Washington, D.C. This will force the issue into a court of law where it should have gone decades ago. Is there any chance this can be accomplished? Not unless hundreds of thousands of Americans climb in the face of their state legislators and those elected public servants do what's right by making this a hot issue in their state house. You have to build a bond fire, just like The Minutemen have done on the illegals invasion and the Seventeenth Amendment IS critically important. - IndyJim, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4We must demand TERM LIMITS....for some reason it is always much easier to kick someone else's congressman out of office than their own. We must have TERM LIMITS of no more than 12-years for all Federally Elected Office holders.
We also need to pass the FAIR TAX (see www.fairtax.org). Doing both of these things would put the PEOPLE back in charge of their government. - DrReaper, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4It's good to see people are thinking the way I do for a change.
- dpc2376, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4Unless, your one of your Senators is the Democrat running for President, and the other one is just as bad. Obama and Durbin
I am voting for Chad Koppie of the Constitution Party for Durbin's spot on the Senate.
Oddly enough my Representative is a democrat and he voted against it. I guess not all of them are bad.

Forging a Rebirth of Freedom
Vote for Chuck Baldwin - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3Agreed, keep the good few who voted against the bailout!
- smellslikebo, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3http://www.smellslikebo.com/blog/blog6.php?p=96&mo ...
these people should be elected back into office as they stayed behind when all others went on vacation to fix the energy issue, remember.
http://www.smellslikebo.com/blog/blog6.php?p=96&mo ...
all others, INCULDING PELOSI GONE BABY GONE - smellslikebo, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3I agree.
I think McCain shhould go for Fair-tax, also. - smellslikebo, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3I agree vote them all out!
But I am VOTING FOR THESE few republicans that stayed and tried to fox the energy issue before congress went o n break they satyed in the house.
http://www.smellslikebo.com/blog/blog6.php?p=96&mo ...
To me they took a stand, and proved it by staying. - kittydee1, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3cann't tell a sarcastic remark when you see one? i don't think hugo is a commie
- JKap, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2http://www.voterbomb.com/
- DrReaper, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2The best defense to this is not to vote for any congressmen that voted for the bailout. I also would urge people to vote for the constitution. I am going to vote for the constitution party. They will support the one document that can turn this country around in the right direction. After hearing about Obama's economic plan on the radio this morning I can see he is planning on the same failed great depression policies we already lived through once before. We need to get rid of the federal reserve and their polices once and for all. Not elect a president that is going to do worse than ever. We get rid of personal income tax at the same time and give this economy a shot in the arm. The IRS is breaking our constitutional rights anyway and they won't answer any petitions to the government! It's a scam just like this mortgage crisis and depression we are headed into. It's all a scam, planned and executed for the North American Union and one world government.
