Non-Representatives

Tired of Politicians that don't represent you and your views? I sure am. Why do we just accept this?

It isn't limited to one party. Just this week we had Ted Kennedy channeling Joe McCarthy, last year we had George Voinovich sobbing tears on the Senate floor because he didn't like the candidate. We had Dick Durbin comparing our troops to Pol Pot and Hitler.

What do all of these people have in common. They are continually re-elected by overwhelming margins. Who elects these people? WE DO!!!

Lots of reasons for it. They bring home money to their states. They have name recognition. Most of all we as voters are lazy. You have all heard it 'Democrats are for the working man and Republicans are for big business'. 'I'm a Republican because they will fight the deficit'. There are as many stereotypes as we can count.

Last time I looked Democrats get about as much in Campaign Contributions from Corporate America as Republicans, and under Republican Leadership spending has hit dizzying levels. Just as a thought do a couple of things:
1: VOTE. Why can't we muster a single majority to the polls once in a while?
2: Get past the money that these crooks bring home. Walter Williams once compared a common thief to a Congressman by pointing out the thief doesn't ask you to thank him.
3. If they went in honest and trustworthy changed in office, do us a favor and don't return them!!
4. Demand better alternatives. I live in Ohio. Mike DeWine or possibly Jerry Springer is not a choice. If we continue to turn out incumbents the two parties will get the picture in time.
