REPLACE THEM ALL!

Here's some good news! Polling now shows that 57% of Americans would just as soon replace every single member of congress. If you just poll the independents our there that figure rises to 70%.

OK .. that's now. There isn't an election on the horizon. When we get closer to election time these people will start to modify their beliefs a bit. They'll think that every member of congress should be replaced except their own. And why not replace their particular representative? Simple! Because he or she brings home the bacon!

Will the American people figure out that we have a Republic to save here? Will they understand that restoring freedom and individual responsibility may well be more important than a new road or some new sidewalks in their community? We'll find out next year.

  • The problem with a third party
    If we ever get a viable third party in the U.S., we're just asking for even more trouble. At least with the 2 parties, when someone wins an election it's (usually) because at least half the voters supporter him or her. With 3 parties, we're likely to never elect anyone who has the support of half the people. More likely it will be that more than half the people voted AGAINST that person. How is that going to help?

  • Incumbents have to go
    It has been my policy to never vote for an incumbent for the last 3 years. Please note that this does not mean party vote, though I have strayed from my party affiliation on occasion. If more folks would do this, perhaps we could scare the idiots. But those yankees that live where ice falls from the sky need do their part too.

  • TERM LIMITS
    Newt was the only politician who pushed 'term limits', and I'm fairly certain he'll be the last. These bastards have no intention of voting their corrupt asses out of office. It has to come from the constituents. Unfortunately, Democrats and moderate Republicans worship their representatives.

  • I'd agree but...
    My people support the Fair Tax, so I like to keep them around in hopes they'll get our way soon. Hey, new battle cry! "Replace 'em all until they support Fair Tax!"

    DON'T RETURN INCUMBENT POLITICIANS..
    By butt neckid @ 08/31/09 12:59:00 PMreport abuse
  • NIBMY!!!
    MJK: agreed on Isaakson and Chamblis, but Linder is my rep, too, and while I desperately support the FairTax, he won't support either a Boortz-like bill addendum where they pledge they think the money spent on the bill is better spent by government than given back to the people (too long to explain), nor will he support a "I've read and understand this bill" addendum to each bill.

    If we're going to be realistic, the chance that politicians vote themselves less power is fractional; I'm willing to give that up for a "clean sweep" act, so I'd like to direct this next part to "One Small Voice."

    Term limits are a good start, but it may be the case that sometimes people actually like their incumbent. I'd rather support something that says you can't run more than twice for a specific office CONSECUTIVELY. If you step away for a term, and the people want you back later, I think that's OK.

    By the way, mercysnakes, my public school is one of the best rated in the state... I'd still rather send my kids to private... and no, Boortz, I simply don't have the means right now, so I try to "correct" their education when it comes time... after all, most of the stuff is fine (reading/writing/arithmetic). It's mostly the historical distortions that need addressing... oh, and the occasional teacher blabbing on about why Obama is so great.

  • Kick them out
    I would sacrifice my 2 good senators if it meant getting rid of ALL of them.My congressman has a target on him and isn't coming back.Term limits???Hell yeah,that is the answer.The numbnuts that re-elect these clowns year after year won't even get the chance to blindly vote for their boys then.
    By AlabamaDon @ 08/31/09 12:33:21 PMreport abuse
  • replace them all
    Like publikskool-"I know publikskool is bad, but my kid's publikskool is great. So I vote we close every publikskool but mine." Pretty much the same deal with Congress-the NIMBY principle in reverse. Get ready for the same old, same old. I try to vote my three twerps out every chance I get, but Baltimore rules the roost around here. I might as well let fly up a rope -next time around it will still be Cardin, Mikulsky, and Hoyer. No, my vote really doesn't count. either.

  • Starting Over
    "Starting Over" doesn't require a ballot. The Constitution allows for it....and I'm done voting. Voting hasn't made a lick of difference in some 20 years. BOTH parties have destroyed this nation (at the will of the majority btw) and the only thing we get out of Washington now is "TILT". We need to put in another quarter and REALLY start over.

    Either that or we start building Galt's Gultch...

  • Still don't like this idea
    I really don't think the whole DRIP idea is a good one. If pulled off I think it would send the exact opposite message as intended. I know if I were elected in this manner I would think what the hell might as well do whatever will benefit me the most since I'm going to be voted out next go round anyway. Why on earth would you give a damn if you knew you were going to be replaced regardless of your performance?

    Unfortunately I realize that it is just too much to ask morons to actually do some research and vote responsibly... I don't know, maybe it's not the best idea but the only idea that could actually be implemented.

    What I mean is...within the past seven months, this administration has called the American people(and our soldiers) "nazi's", "brownshirts", "extremists", "terrorists", "nation of cowards" and God knows what else.
    It's one thing that this current administration steals everybody's money and attacks their businesses and industry. But, it's quite another thing when they call you names and insult you in the process. Who do they think they are? The American people need to give them a collective b!tchslap.

    fear of the ballot
    they don't fear the ballot. or should i say they don't fear the counting of the ballots. all they got to do is hire a computer programmer to write a program which will make him a winner.

    I imagine if the majority of voters reflected in every exit poll showed they were kicking them out and then the results came back otherwise, there would indeed be riots in the streets! Manipulation only works in close races. These ain't gonna be close!

  • Duh?
    "...69 percent say the party's elected officials are out of touch with their conservative base."

    Ya think so!
    The poll cites the "unpopular $700-billion bailout plan in the heat of a presidential campaign and a seeming financial industry meltdown." Both of our REPUBLICAN SOB Senators from Georgia voted for the $700 billion bailout of the banks, but Georgians voted in Saxby Chambliss in office for another six more years for reasons I'll always have a hard time understanding. Hopefully Isakson will get beat by Herman Cain in 2010...

  • Devil you don't know
    Even the new ones will be hesitant, wondering "did they vote me in cause they really wanted me or just because I wasn't the incumbent", especially when they see the next cycle get rid of yet another round of incumbents. They can be taught fear.

    What is the quote: when government fears it's people, you have democracy, when people fear it's government you have tyranny.

    Something like that. We need to put the fear of the ballot in them.

  • Big Joe Williams & Health Care
    Yes we need "Healthcare Reform". We need to be able to take insurance payments as well as costs off of our income taxes as long as we still have income taxes. We need to be able to shape our own coverage without the government requiring things like non-reconstructive cosmetic surgery, pre-natal care, pediactric care, and such. We need to be able to buy catastrophic only care (i.e. high deductible). We need to be able to shop across statelines. Now that would be reform.

  • Come on November 2010!!
    Any time you have members of congress saying that even though they KNOW what the people want done, they are going to ignore that and do what THEY think best, it's well past the time to clean house!! Congress is there to act on the will of the people, NOT their own agenda! And if congress cannot get their minds right on that point, then WE THE PEOPLE must replace them with those who will represent us! Personaly, November 2010 can't get here fast enough to suit me. I'm going to DC on September 12, to take part in the march/rally and I encourage everyone here to make the trip as well. We need to stand up and be counted. It's inportant.

  • Replace Congress
    The problem with polls like this is, while 60% of people claim to hate congress, almost 80% of Americans are pleased with their own member of congress. That is why a sweeping change will never come to the national legislature.

The only way to stop what our elites are proposing is to literally get rid of all of them.

    If we chuck out all the incumbents - we'll have to do it in each of the next 3 elections - by the time the "new kids" learn how it all works, it'll be time to vote them back out again.

    Where are we going to find 535 individuals with the intelligence to do the job properly, virtuous enough not to be corrupted, and humble enough not to succumb to the "grandeur"?

  • Replace Them.
    From the same government that managed Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground, wasted $787 BILLION in stimulus(and, yet, wants another "stimulus" bill), brought you Social Security(fraud), and couldn't even manage the "Cash For Clunkers", is supposed to manage YOUR health care?! Folks, within the past seven months, this administration has called the American people(and our soldiers), "extremists", "terrorists", "nazi's", "brownshirts", "nation of cowards" and makes statements like "no white men need apply!". Yep, I agree. We need to replace them ALL and install a representative government.
    The government we currently have is a collection of rude, arrogant, childish, socialist, name-calling, thuggish, thieving, manipulative, lying pieces of crap. ALL OF THEM, AND THEIR MEDIA.
    And, I'm also getting damn sick and tired of Republicans talking about "well, we need SOME kind of government healthcare reform". NO WE DON'T, DAMNIT! The Republicans are just trying to help Democrats get their foot through the door. Once they do that, they take over everything...like rats! The only "reform" the American people need is "government reform". Let's take out the trash in 2010!
