Honestly the Repubs in Congress are just getting to be to much. They wanted small business help but they are calling Obama's plan to use the Tarp money "stimulus 2" and opposing. Dems are just as bad, but its hard to believe or agree with anything coming out of a Repub congressperson these days. I really hate the current government and both parties. The Dems want one thing so the Republicans automatically oppose. The Republicans want one thing so the Dems automatically oppose. Do all problems require two extreme viewpoints? Dont some problems/issues have a common answer that everyone can agree with? The Republicans and Democrats dont give a DAMN about you or I. Most of them are probably too drunk or stupid to even understand the issues they give opinions on. They all need to freaking go. Its time for our Congressmen to get paid about $45G per year and have 8 year term limits. then maybe people will enter politics for the right reasons, to make a positive difference in this country.

 I agree, both parties are not immune. Quote:
 )But, if the Sarah Palin-successionist types go Teabaggin', and drag the true extremist crazies and the Libertarians (sorry, LIbertarians) off the GOP and out into Teabaggin' land, that leaves a GOP that can reform into a useful political force. They won't have the extreme crazies (also improperly known as "the base") to dance to, the GOP can return to being a combined moderate and conservative, sensible GOP. Quote:

"Congressman Rostenkowski" is how the former chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means committee answered his cell phone. Not "ex-con Rostenkowski," not "Mr. Rostenkowski," not even "Hey, I've been pardoned by Bill Clinton, Rostenkowski". Nope, it's "Congressman." And with good reason. Congress is still paying the chairman. According to the National Taxpayers Union, an organization that advocates for lower taxes, Rosty is making $126,000 a year from his federal pension. Not bad for a guy that went to prison after being indicted on 17 counts of, among other charges, embezzling public funds. Crime in this profession pays.......

They already have term limits. One term at a time. They just somehow keep getting re-elected. Take away the lifetime health plan and any pension. If they know they are going to have to slum it some day like the rest of us do every day they might have a greater concern for what condition they leave the country in.
