 As we all get ready to vote in this next election we need to ask ourselves one simple question. Does my vote really count, will the person I vote for really represent me in DC? If you’re voting for Obama you might have some reservations now that he has backed off of some of his earlier promises. If your voting for McCain you have to ask yourself why is he talking about changing capital hill but supporting the 700 billion dollar bailout?

 Elections for the United States Senate will be held on November 4, 2008, with 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested. Thirty-three seats are regular elections; the winners will be eligible to serve six-year terms from January 3, 2009 until January 3, 2015 as members of Senate Class II. There are also two special elections: one in Wyoming and another in Mississippi; the winners will serve the remainder of terms that expire on January 3, 2013, as members of Senate Class I. Elections for all House of Representatives will occur on November 4, 2008 also.

 The word representative is a joke on the American people. In this pass year alone the American people have overwhelming ask congress to do something about illegal immigration, to drill for oil off our shores and not to vote for the 700 billion dollar bailout. We as American have stood by and watched our congress sell American and her citizens down the river. We have set back and watched people who we have put in office lie to cover up their on mistakes, point fingers at others to take the blame away from themselves and in some cases just outright break the law.

 We have also seen first hand that our so-called congress will protect there on when they are caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. William Jefferson, Dobbs and Barney Franks should all be up before a house committee on charges. But this will never happen as long as the Democrats are in power. The same thing happen when the Republicans where in power also.

 These people we elect to office would have you believe they know your pain and suffering. They would have you believe they know what you want and what you need to live a happy life. THESE PEOPLE DON”T HAVE A CLUE! And what’s worst they could care less about the middle-class and below in this country.

  What more proof do you need than what they have done and how they have ignored the American peoples will this year. And yet these same people are asking you to vote them back into office.

 I personally want to see how stupid the American people are this election. I want to see how many of these congressman and senators the American people re-elect back into office. We the American people have a chance to wipe out all of the people in the House on November 4. It doesn’t matter if they are republicans or demarcates just vote them out! I want to see how many time you are willing to bent over and let you’re congressman or senator screw you in the butt.

 When 78% of Americans want illegal immigration reform, when 76% of the American people want offshore drilling and when 74% of the people want the 700 billion dollar bailout bill defected and lawmakers turn a deft ear to us, we are not being represented, in fact we are just being ignored.

 I hope, I plead, I pray, I beg all Americans to vote ALL INCUMBENTS OUT OF OFFICE.

Good post Cool. Unlike politicians, I feel your pain, cuz I'm experiencing right along with you!

The best thing to come out of this year's campaign season for me is the research I've been forced to undertake. I'm ashamed to say I've not done as much for past elections. Perhaps I'm reaping what I've sown?

Notice how NOTHING is being said on illegals from either side. Its because they are both guilty on that one. The headlines last week in the El Paso Texas Times said more than 1,000 have been slain in the Drug Cartel Wars just recently. El Paso, Texas borders Juarez, Mexico. Is that NOT a matter of National Security????

I hear what you all are saying, can I play Devils advocate for a second? Thank you I will.Who is the wings just waiting for this vote out incumbants and who are they? When are WE going to demand term limits, and who votes on this? Not all are bad the ones that are do not live in our districts or states.

Let me rephrase my comment. I obviously can't vote every incumbent out. But I can do my share.

Term limits are a great idea that will honestly never come to fruition.

The system of democracy that was invisioned by the men and women before, during, and after our historic fight for and declaration of independance from Britain's crown, is dead. Our soveriegn nation has become the very thing people fought and died to break away from. Our constituition has been trampled and the pleas of American citizens fall upon deaf and corrupt ears. Our forefathers are spinnning in their graves.

I was born and lived in Dallas all my life. I spent 4 years in the army back in the 70s. I now own my own business here in Dallas Co. I'm proud to live in Texas and in Dallas. When I watch the news, you can bet that ninty percent comes from FoxNews. This is about up close and personal as I want to get.
