Sorry. But how? People say, "vote the bums out." But when you say lets vote them all out, everyone says, "well I did not mean my rep, he/she is a good guy/gal, votes for conservative stuff, yada yada yada." With this attitude every stinking one of them will always remain in office. People rarely vote their reps out. Sure, a few get tossed each year, but most of these people are in office and have been for many years. They are going no where. So, the beat goes on. The same ole, same ole. Once in side the beltway, the bums are in another world. Their world. Where THEY control their salary, their pension, their healthcare, their bennies, etc. And we, the people, the employer of these bums, have no say so over all this list of things. And WE have to have OUR EMPLOYEE in the House/Senate vote on what THEY will decide that WE, the tax paying public, will receive and how much. So, where else does the EMPLOYEE CONTROL EVERYTHING OVER THE EMPLOYER AND I MEAN EVERYTHING STINKING THING!!!!!
I woke up very early this morning, and heard someone on the radio explaining the “gridlock” in congress - specifically the house-
Gerrymanding has given these elected fools security, so they need not worry about the “base” in elections. The only way to take them on is in the primaries, and that is a hard road, considering the way their districts have been “gerrymandered”.
Made sense in my stupor upon awakening. What do you all think?
Doesn't have to be your representatives/senators. Remember when that fellow yelled out 'you lie' to Obama?
------------------------------------------->
(Reuters) - Joe Wilson of South Carolina -- the lawmaker who shouted "You Lie" at President Barack Obama during a speech....
------------------------------------------->
A LOT of people started sending Wilson money and, IIRC, he raised over $1 million in a very short period of time!
No reason I can think of not to educate the Q's now that you plan to donate to, and vote for, any opponent in the primary.
Primary out is how I have seen it posted on Free Republic.
I think that is a very good deal.
We give them one head's up now of what we intend to do and if they don't quickly, very quickly, respond then the "primary out" is the thing to do.
Might be a good lesson for future "politicoes".
