TAKE AMERICA BACK - - FIRE CONGRESS

Any Jackass, Criminal, Mobster or just a plain crook can run for any political office all it takes is money and a buddy or two in office to introduce you to the rackets. Ready?

Just firing the congress will not do any good, it is necessary to get rid of everybody from the president down to the lowly congressmen. And then raid the CFR heasdquarters and arrest all of them ad snd them to some dungeon for life. And that would only be a start. The corruption runs too deep to cover it all. It may be better to start with local and state corruption and then join together to clean up Washington and Wall street. good luck.

Fire them and replace them with American citizens THAT ARE NOT CORRUPT.They are robbing us blind and obviously DO NOT care about our future or THEIRS. How many are retired as we are or have watched their family sruggle to stay afloat. FIRE THEM ALL !!!!

Most incumbents get elected year after year after year because they are from districts that give them a landslide. Most Congressmen from competitive districts only serve a few terms.

Nancy Pelosi isn't an eleven term Congresswoman because she's a corrupt bitch. She's an eleven term Congresswoman because she is from California's eighth district, which encompasses San Francisco. She hasn't gotten under seventy percent of the vote there.

My Congressman, Adam Schiff, has been in office since 2002. Since then, he hasn't gotten under sixty percent of the vote. Because my district is drawn so that the Democrats have a clear advantage. The city I live in is actually evenly split between both major parties, but it's in the same district as Democrat-heavy areas.

This is why Congress is dominated by an "old guard" that keeps getting re-elected. Ending gerrymandering at a state level is a better solution than term limits, which put an unnecessary cap on the choice of the people.

Truth IS simply a inconvenient concept to the Leftist (liberal progressive) mind.

Today’s Left pretty much stands for nothing—not freedom, not equal opportunity; not individual rights; not even peace. Trying to right the wrongs and injustices of the world is truly ethical and noble goal, but something happened on the road to that beautiful utopia

Every issue supported by the Left, and almost all of the behavior exhibited by the Left is completely antithetical to classical liberal philosophies. There is no longer a commitment to personal liberty or to freedom. The Left is far too busy to promote freedom for the common man or woman, because their time is taken up advocating freedom for tyrants who oppress the common man; terrorists who kill the common man; and religious fanatics who subjugate the common woman.

The intellectuals who once promoted the IDEA of freedom, now are ensnared in an IDEOLOGY that depends for its very existence on the silencing of speech; the suppression of ideas; and the persecution of those who dare to refute its tenets.

What we have witnessed over the 30- 45 years since the Left ascended to dominate political thought in the mid 20th century, is its rapid and unprecedented decline into wholesale intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

Where once they stood for freedom; they now enable dictatorships and apologize for tyrants. Where once they sought to bring justice to the world; they now defend horrific acts of mass murder and enslavement. Where once they rightly demanded equal opportunity, they have embraced all kinds of racial quotas and discriminatory practices and demand equality of outcome. Where once they sought to empower the weak; they are now instrumental in maintaining and expanding their victimhood.

After all, how can you be a “champion of the oppressed” unless you maintain and nurture an oppressed class that will always require your services to help them?

It is useless to point out, for example, that trillions of dollars have already been spent on helping the poor and the disadvantaged in this country. What has resulted in the long run from that effort? We have given people fish to eat, but we haven’t taught them how to go fishing.

Someday, it will occur to someone that the Left has not had a single new idea for over half a century and that none of the “great” programs they have created have actually worked. Yet they guard those programs jealously, afraid of any new ideas or approaches that might make them have doubts in their precious ideology.

Instead of reducing poverty, they have created a class of people dependent on the government for their survival and thus they ensure continuing poverty—even through the generations. Motivation is destroyed. Self-respect is trashed. Victimhood and passivity become a way of life whose worse aspects are glorified in the music and culture of the newly created welfare class.

There are those of us who view the situation differently and who think that we should try some new approaches to these old, enduring problems. And, SURPRISE! - We are not "evil oppressors." Indeed, we rightfully think of ourselves as liberators; our goals are empowerment of the individual and a decrease in the power of the maternalistic/paternalistic state.

Neither the rational Right nor the rational Left have exclusive rights to Truth or Justice, but at the present Truth to the Left is an inconvenient deterrence (unless it will serve an end believed to justify the means) that must carefully be maneuvered to obscure their clandestine purposes.

"If a Leftist is speaking the truth about something, it's only because he's in step-back mode, collecting the gullible in preparation for his next go at utopia."...anonymous

"...and how do you know that is factual? You've only expressed what you think may be so, as you have no experienced "model" from which to do anything other than to extrapolate a possibility...."

It's a fact that 400 of the 435 districts are "safe" for one party or another.

"That truth is too simple a solution for the convoluted liberal progressive mind, samthesixth"

Heh, for a minute here I thought we were going to have some real discourse.

"...and you know this how, young man?"

If you term limit Congressmen, you'll still most likely get the same party makeup. Ninety-one percent of districts are "safe" for one party or another. In these districts, a candidate will get over sixty percent of the vote in most cases.

Even if we term limit politicians, every election will still be a landslide for the Democrats in my district. The real solution to this problem is ending gerrymandering, reforming the system at the state level.

My favorite method is the splitline algorithm, which draws districts that are impartial to party, race, religion, etc. Will there still be safe districts? Yes. Will there be four-hundred of them? Probably not.

Plus, term limits put a cap on professionalism and the choice of the people. Term limits will only treat the symptoms, not the disease.

Sure they will. That way there is less opportunity to buy and own a career politician.

Term limit's won't work. -_-

Somewhere along the way we have become a hybrid system with a dash of democracy and a splash of feudalism.

im not trying to insult anyones intellegance but they are subject to us the voter. if you dont like em vote em out. thier is a system in place to"fire" any congress person you dont like, voting.

i agree, lets get rid of em. And no this isn't a right wing left jab, i was very disapointed when the right held congress.
1)We need term limits, 12 years max.
2) we need turnover of the bureaucrats also. With term limits the guys behind congress will only get more power.
3)install a second place voting system to allow third, fourth and more parties to participate
4)take steps to insure gridlock, Truth is gridlock is good. Laws and legislation should be difficult to pass to insure they get it right and Americans will benifit not the right or left. We have so many laws on the books no one really knows what the hell is going on.
5)penelties for corruption or the like are so severe it scares them shitless to do anything that might be taken as impropoer
6)take steps to insure the federal government is one of a guiding role not the lead role. States should have more say

It is no longer Taboo to elect a Challenger who is outside your typical party affiliation, platform or issues

and who is working to restore your rightful claim to the values that once made America great.

The Taboo Party advocates voting for all Challengers to Incumbents to break their stranglehold over the lives of hard-working, dedicated Americans who still believe in the Constitution, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as the Founding Fathers intended.

Reclaim your heritage and join the efforts of The Taboo Party to “Throw All Bums Out of Office”.

Voted this down sore losers try again in 2012.

voted this UP ^

@ Tyr;
Ah, so now you wish to keep the status quo, you perceive that your "team" is in control, and to change the players you socialosts might lose that "edge" eh?
And again you infer that opposition to clandestine maneuvers to impose excessive tax revenues under any guise to be anti-tax, when in fact what is wanted is fiscal responsibility with existing tax revenues.

Why do we need a congress? For the past 9 years they have failed to miserably rid the government of the most corrupt administration since its conception. Since the main purpose of the congress has been to tack on pork and plenty of it. Let the states handle their business and rid the US congress. One good intelligent President can run this nation effectively and effeciently. To make the government more effecient then replace the Federal Reserve with our own Central Bank and shed the corrupt Federal Banking system. Senators are not worth their weight in manure get rid of them. With all of the extra space in washington rent the facilities to help pay for the national debt.Return education back to the states. The Supreme Court is too loyal to the party who put them in place. Fire all supreme Court Judges and hire the best qualified non political and non biased. This will eliminate more crooked and corrupt legal representation. Hire a non political man, an Economist to lead the country. A non political president can be controlled by the people easier than the total corrupt Congress and Senate and the Legislative and executive Branch. Congressmen and Senators are not the only ones who are corrupt in Washington. There is enough to go around many times. Vote for a complete change.

Like the former speaker of the house, Sam Rayburn, said years ago, “Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one”
So which one are you?
Sure we could replace them all, to what end? Why would their replacements conduct business any differently?
Rather than spend so much time and energy cataloging all your complaints propose something better, find donors to finance your ideas and convince the entire nation that you have all the answers.
Educate the nation as to how the entire system can be torn apart without financial chaos and then describe how the armed forces, FDA, all the ports, customs, border patrol, and everything else that the nation funds will operate without taxes being collected, or a governing body planning and implementing a budget. No tax code, no money coming from any citizen in the form of a tax. Please tell us how that works and give us an example on this planet of a first world nation that runs it's society without taxes.

why don't you propose something useful or run for office instead? do you have an alternative to congress?

yeah fire congress. ok now what we need representatives. simple hold an election oh yeah thats what we do. your vote is either the renewal of someones job or thier firing.

It will take just 6 years if we take on one at a time.

Nicely said tommytripper.

How do we get a spokesman and the national media on board to replace every one of them. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. I don't see how a case can be made that the new members will screw things up!!!!!!

open them books and fire them crooks.!

2010 will be a good year for NEW !

They don't go on welfare akamaial!

They have generous retirement plans they receive after just one term, which of course they VOTE on from time to time to BEEF UP FOR THEMSELVES!

Are you giving a free pass to the voters who reelect these buffoons?

I agree, fire everyone of them. Get rid of lobbyists and apply TERM LIMITS. Politics is a career for many of these bozos. Once they are voted in the spend the rest of their lives protecting what they think is THEIR job by kissing the right uh-ehm...
Think Byrd, Kennedy, ... they never leave, until they die. Aides carry Byrd in, it takes three people and a walker with wheels. And then when they see the end they have the gall to suggest their replacement.
The only time they volunteer to leave is when they move to the next level. Like Our beloved gov. Casey... oh, but wait his son's here to fill the gap.
Get rid of all of them, everyone of them.
Most have never worked the private sector but the ones that are lawyers will find work.
Maybe they'd get the picture. How many of you get to vote yourself a payraise without your bosses knowledge?

yes sir obviously some people need to leave office!!!!

Fire then all!!
