Americans are Stupid!

I’m coming around to the idea that the bulk of the American people are basically stupid, stupid, stupid! Why?

How else can we explain how Congress, which has a 9% approval rating, gets reelected about 95% of the time? Do we ever “throw the bums out”?

Listen to these stats:Senate: As of 2008, of 100 Senators, 39 (39%) reelected for 18 yrs or more, 4 over 40 years!

House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) reelected for 14 yrs or more, 5 over 36 years!

And the longer these guys are in office, the more of them will run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats.

And who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? YOU!!! Not your dumb neighbor. Not the media. Not the crooked political system. Just YOU, the typical stupid American! The guy who complains how those crooked politicians are ripping off the country and sending us all down the tubes, and then reelects them!

YOU don’t seem to realize that YOU, and only YOU, have the power to clean up the whole system by simply NEVER REELECTing any Congressman or Senator. The good guys, the bad guys, all of them! NEVER REELECT them!

The beauty of this NEVER REELECT policy is that nobody can stop you from voting the bums out! They can stop you from voting for term limits, but they can’t stop you from imposing term limits by a NEVER REELECT policy.

I hope this short video will get you up off your dumb ass to prove that you aren’t one of those stupid Americans.

Always vote, but NEVER REELECT! If we do this for 2 or 3 elections in a row, I promise you, we will suddenly see a truly new and effective Congress.

Sorry, I didn’t get it. I have been babysitting a 16 month old and a 4 year old for the week. I have gone into the brain dead soccer mom mode. I’ll be okay next week. Grandmas shouldn’t have to look after babies!

Actually....it's the stupid Republican House members who had a golden opportunity in 1995 to enact and implement term limit laws which would have meant....by now....no Nancy Pelosi; no Steny Hoyer; no just about any other democrat (Socialist) you can name, would still be sitting in Congress.

The idiot Republicans thought that this part of the "Contract With America" was taking things too far as THEY would also be term limited as well! And....they were indispensable....remember?

Six terms should have been adequate....twelve years in the House....and then go back and work at Burger King....or something! By the way.....no retirement benefits also.

Just think.....every twelve years....or sooner (every President and one half) a complete flushing of the House of Representatives! We will never get another chance!
