Incumbants! Vote em out!!

A friend of mine here in our town has the opinion that all incumbents should be voted out of office at every election. One term for everybody. Get rid of the career politicians. He has convinced me. Here we are in a terrible financial situation in this country. Even our presidunce would agree with that were he honest about things, and I guess that is doubtful. A multi-billion dollar bail out bill didn’t clear the legislature until billions more in pork were tacked on. What that says to me is that the boys in Washington are only interested in their re-election. They had to tack all of this pork onto the bill so that they would look good to the home boys. “Looky what I gotcha boys! Bridge to nowhere money! Re-elect me and I will keep the money comin’” The founding fathers took a little time away from their farms and businesses to help run the country and then went home. I believe that is the way it should be.
If you are fed up with the banking fiasco, the mortgage crisis, the FDA, The wars, The poverty, The medical insurance costs, the social security debacle, etc. etc. Don’t you too think that this may be worth a think?
We as a people have paid no attention to what was happening in Washington. We were so busy with our lives that we simply let the boys in Washington do their thing. I would bet that 75% of the people in this country don’t know their congressman’s name. What does that say? They walk in to the voting booth and pull the lever for the president and then they are stymied. They see names that they recognize and pull the lever. This year, take a few minutes to find out who is who before walking into the booth and then vote the bums out!
