Ever wonder how members of Congress who are paid just over $170K per year get to be multi-millionaires? "Legal" insider stock trading of course. They have some people including my favorite, Nancy Pelosi, dead to rights.

[Ivytalk]

Yes, it was an equal-opportunity skewering! Nailed Boehner too.

[dbackjon]

Both parties - scum

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

Missed 60 minutes last night so thanks for posting that. Great piece there.

Vote all of them out.

Fire the cannon across the bow for the next armada of crooks.

I've never understood why voters are willing to throw the rest of the country under the bus to facilitate their own pork.

No, that's not Polly-annish, it's merely practical. In the long run, re-electing the same crooks over and over ALWAYS comes back to haunt...

...we're seeing that right now...

...yet McConnell, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Boehner, Rangel, are solidly entrenched! (?)

To be fair, there are some honest, conscientious members of Congress...but truth be told, those few members would probably understand if they lost their seat in a "cleanout" action.

We're experiencing the results of 40 years of partisan obstruction, by both parties.

Our country is in the worst economic situation of the past century, yet both sides are willing to sacrifice our nation's best interests for their own political entrenchment.

Obama's tabling of Keystone until after the election, for political reasons, this past week is a vulgar reminder of how dysfunctional Washington has become.

Vote them all out.

60 Minutes is worthless without Andy Rooney.

Dunno, Laura Logan is a pretty hot piece of azz, even if she's had a lot of work done.

Campaign 469!!!

I'm with you on the Campaign 469 but there's a problem in Iowa, and probably other states as well. Iowa lost a seat because of redistricting so we have an incumbent D (worthless POS) thrown in with an incumbent R (douchebag). Who do you vote for? In my district we have incumbent Steve King (R) running against carpet bagger dumb ass Christie Vilsack (D) (wife of our former gov and current Obama Sec of Agriculture). I'm all for voting out all 469 but I will crawl through broken glass while on fire to vote for Steve King so we don't end up with another Vilsack.

We need to start getting better choices to pick from.

You mean the Vilsack without the nutsack?

Yes of course one of the great news outlets of all time is now worthless without the comedic relief of laughing at an old man that can't keep track of where he left his watch and is constantly making a 3 minute story out of it!

Rest easy slick, we still have Grizo running that gimmick so we'll be fine.

We could pick 535 names out of a phone book and not have any worse government.


This crowd would crawl over their dying mother to fcvk their dead sister.

[CitadelGrad]

I had a nasty email exchange with Pelosi's daughter yesterday in relation to an article she wrote about The Citadel. I didn't mention her mother's corruption, but now I have some new ammo.

I try to give congress SOME amount of respect, but it's clear that the leadership has their fangs poised above the member's jugular...go along or die.

Even "old-timers" who feign independence more often than not are merely acting.

The leaders have unequivocally lost their focus. Dogma and hyperbole have become the main course. The best interest of American's is solely a re-election cliche.

Vote them all out.

Every one of them. No exceptions.

Each voter should take the time to review all non-incumbents, and choose the one whom the voter feels has the most genuine interest in our country's recovery: Party affiliation be damned.

Conservatives spewing selfish Limbaughian protectionism, and liberals barking mindless progressive dogma should be cast aside.

Exhibit A for why it won't work. Make the change, vote third party, or write in. The point is that both parties suck and we have two party system.

Great point! I agree 100% on the two party system being the problem in that both parties just suck. If there was a 3rd party to vote for believe me, I'd be in. In the meantime, the only message that can be said is "everyone goes" and hopefully the new people get the message that they're only going to be there for 2 yrs in the House & 6 yrs in the Senate if they don't change things.

Do what's good for the people, not your party or your own re-election.

I do the same thing with the judges on the ballot. Always vote NO. Always vote against the incumbent.
