Polls Support Big Anti-Incumbent Swing

USATODAY.com News - Top Stories: "The poll showed Democrats leading 54%-39% among registered voters who were asked which party they would prefer in a congressional race."


Now

that is what you call Anti-incumbent Sentiment. Be sure to spread some of it around to the Democrats as well, and we just might actually get better government for our tax dollar. -- Vote Out Incumbents for Democracy.

Changing over Republicans for Democrats isn't going to be enough...at least not once. We have to keep doing this over and over again until they get point:

We want our government back!!!

  • If In Doubt, Vote Them Out !

Know any responsible incumbent politicians ?
Who are they ?
With such a corrupt and dysfunctional government, and a severe lack of transparency, who can really know ? Have they done anything to distinguish themselves from the typical bought-and-paid for incumbents ? Can anyone list 10, 20, 50, or even 268 incumbents (half of the 535) in Congress) that:

  • do not vote irresponsibly for pork-barrel (while our troops risk life and limb, go without body armor, armor for vehicles, and adequate medical and health care) ?

  • do not vote themselves cu$hy perks and raises (e.g. such as the extravagant retirement plans, funded by tax-payers, that are not part of the same mismanaged Social Security and Medicare systems that tax-payers are relegated to) ?

  • do not ignore problems for fear of risking re-election or defying their big-money-donors ?

  • do not prevent newcomers from passing badly-needed, common-sense, no-brainer, responsible reforms ?

  • do not tempt, pressure, and threaten newcomers with the loss of party support if the newcomers don't accept the status quo ?
  • do not pander ?

  • do not peddle influence and accept money from big-money-donors ?

  • do not fuel the petty partisan warfare that distracts the nation from our many pressing problems ?

  • do not spend a great deal of time and tax-payers' money (via allowances) trolling for money for their campaign war-chests ?

  • do not abuse their allowances (provided by tax-payers) to retain their cu$hy, coveted seats of power ?

  • do not look the other way ?

  • genuinely embrace campaign finance reform, election reform, tax reform, or any reform that will create more transparent, accountable, and responsible government, even if it diminishes their opportunities for personal gain ?

  • are fiscally responsible ?

  • deserve to retain their cu$hy, coveted, and prized seats of power ?

Unfortunately, the system has become so perverted and dysfunctional, it corrupts almost all within it. And that will continue, until voters make it obvious to incumbent politicians that their careers will be short, indeed, if they succumb to the status quo too!
Yes, study:

  • their voting records to see the pork-barrel they voted for while our troops risk life and limb.

  • the things they do and say.

  • their attendance records; many (such as Sen. John Conyers) don't even bother to vote much of the time ;

  • their travel habits and expenses paid for by the tax-payers.

  • the use of their time, and how much of it is spent raising big-money for their campaign war-chests.

  • the way they vote themselves raises, special perk$, and cu$hy retirement plans while they totally mismanage and plunder Social Security ($12.8 trillion in the hole)and Medicare Systems.

Yes, study all those things, and you will probably be surprised at what you find.

If an incumbent really is responsible, then they deserve to stay.
However, there are very few (if any).
Therefore, few (if any) of the incumbents deserve to stay in their cu$hy, coveted seats of power, and perhaps that is the price that the irresponsible incumbents should pay for looking the other way?
