Vote them out

[NCFJ]

VOTE THEM OUT!!!! Our representatives in both the Senate and the House have lost touch. They knew about Obamacare for 18 months plus, yet they wait until the last minute to NOT DO ANYTHING about it. Rather, they choose to shut down the government an effect MILLIONS of Americans. The Senate and House both continue to receive their paychecks while Park Rangers and millions of others are sent home as well as many civilian jobs being effected. Some even are complaining that their own personal gym has no towels due to furloughs.

It is time that we stop acting like a bunch of sheep and do something about it. VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!!! Some will say that we need the experience of at least some incumbents to “train” the new crop of representatives. Train them in what? Train them to be another Good Ole Boy and go along to get along. They give us a health care plan that they themselves have opted out of because they have already given themselves a far better plan.

VOTE THEM OUT. The only other choice is more of the same.

See. I do not want to see them voted out.


That would take too darn long.


Fire every last one of them right now and start new. All the way up the chain also. Get new people in every office. If you do not want to work for the better of the people as a whole not just your cronnies then you can go also. And no more checks for life if you are fired for cause.

Gerrymandering and money ensure virtually none get voted out. The only recourse now is a full-scale revolution.

Joe, when do we start?

There are so many reforms needed in DC who would know where to begin - assuming all the riff-raff could be cleaned?

The other funny thing is so many people want the incumbents voted out - as long as it's not their Congressperson. "Vote them all out, except mine, s/he is doing a great job." That leaves us where we are.

Jonathan, I'm ready to start any time. However, I have no experience planning or organizing a revolution.........

We have been governed by millionaires for too long, and they've done too much damage.

I just hope you're looking both left and right with that statement.

Term limits would be a great idea. And get rid of the free healthcare for life and pensions, both of happen regardless of term length. And give them the same health insurance we all have. No special treatment at all would be great.

Limit all terms to 2 times, get rid of special interest groups, changes elections in general, ween ourselves off of a two party system, no special benefits for those in charge.
