Amen, Steve. 2012 is not a year we can afford to “just sit this one out.” As for voting all the incumbents out, my Congressman is Allen West. Although he’ll be moving out of my district, I really pray he stays in, and I will in fact be campaigning for him. But as a general rule, I agree - throw the bums out.
West is gold in my book...But as all gold does, it does tend to need polishing from time to time...Tell him he needs to REJECT ALL advice and counsel, and go with his gut on issues...To me I have not heard that going wrong for him since I can recall him coming into the political mainstream...
