Washington is oblivious as well as Useless
The American Thinker ^ | February 11, 2010 | Monty Pelerin

The public is in an ugly mood regarding politics. For the country, this anger may represent a turning point. For politicians in Washington, it is just business as usual. Can they be this tone deaf? Does their arrogance prevent them from recognizing what is happening?

According to Rasmussen:

"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of likely voters believe, generally speaking, that it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November."

Despite these signals, Washington is unable or unwilling to change direction. Proposed and enacted policies have been rejected by the public. Yet, Washington's only response is to increase the dosage of what the public has already rejected.

” if most incumbents in Congress were defeated”?

How about we Keel Haul the vast majority of these blood suckers?
Congressmen and senators.

I think maybe a serious ass whoopin for a few of these maggots would get the others attention.

Sign me up.

What we need to do is take their toys away and limit their ability to play games with voters.
No earmarks, no legislation that takes from one group and buys favor with another and no amnesty for illegals.
Another nice thing would be to make congress critters criminally liable for lying.

What?
‘ make congress critters criminally liable for lying”?
Great idea but you’d have EVERY politician in jail.

I have been areound the world a few times, and in every state but Hawaii.
I’ve met folks the world over and ask them all the same question, What do folks think of politicians where you are from.
To a one they all say they are ALL CROOKS.
