This one I just had to post since it gives me hope that the country isn’t completely lost.
“If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, just 25% of voters nationwide would keep the current batch of legislators.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% would vote to replace the entire Congress and start all over again. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure how they would vote.”
The article goes on to point out that even republicans are not happy with their representation. Of course the Democrats are fine with it all, but aside from their voter fraud in the last election I’d say it’s a good sign. Personally, I think they should have term limits just like the president. Four years and out, with at least 2 years before they can run again. That would keep things fresh and career politicians would actually have to work for a living to remember where it is that they came from. But that’s just my opinion. I say DO IT NOW!! But then I woke up from that dream.

I was born and raised in two places. The Midwest and the west coast. You can say I have a mid-west core with a west-coast mentality.
I was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, A Scout Leader, and a volunteer so I learned my civic duty at an early age. Well before mandated school curriculum required me to. Long before a sitting President made it "cool" and definitely before he "required" it of us. I am a product of the Public Screwl System!!
I am like you a citizen of the U.S. I get up, go to work, come home, kiss the fiance pet my cats, have dinner, play Xbox, love the fiance, and go to bed. I pay my taxes, my healthcare, my car payment, rent, power, and the rest of my bills just like you.
The difference you might ask is I use my voice to bring to light the corruption, hypocrisy, greed, graft, miss-management, and utter shenanigans of the government in power. Who so ever that should be. Like the late great Mark Twain, I am for the country, not it's institutions. I am for the Constitution, not the talking heads on T.V. I am for the people of this great country, not the power structure that is.
The truth my friends is an ugly thing. However, only the truth will set you free. So look upon the face of the beast with me and laugh my friends. For that is what the face of truth requires. Humor.
The reason I blog about politics and our American society is it is my way of participating in the dialog and democratic process that is our Republic. I urge all of you reading this to play your part in our society and make your voice heard. Which ever side of the political spectrum you are on. The government is not the boss, you the public are. Make use of it.
I hope you find something here that makes you smile or laugh. If you do then I have done my job. If you find something here that makes you think or change your mind then I am truly blessed. Either way my friend let's buy the ticket and take the ride as Hunter S. Thompson said so eloquently.

A “new Rasmussen Reports survey”? Congress has consistently had the lowest approval rating of any branch of government for decades now. This is not new and so hardly proves that Democrats in Congress are doing a terrible job. The same polls show that although those who are surveyed rate Congress so low, they also rate their own Congressperson quite high. It is simply an institutional reality. Oh and did you know that the Supreme Court is consistently rated somewhere in the %75-85 range in the very same surveys. However, I’m sure plenty of people don’t always agree that the SC is doing a good job.
