Re reaping: Even if you screw up in Congress you've still got your fat pension and health care benefits plus the likelyhood of a cushy job as a industry lobbyist.

I heard it said recently that "there's only one part in congress, the party of money". (sorry, I don't recall who made the statement.) In my opinion, how true ! Big money has corrupted the system and taken the will of the prople away and put it into the hands of the big money people and corporations. A start would be to keep such money out of campaign finance.

Once again this statement is made without any historical context.. historically speaking, the approval rating of congress has always been joined at the hip with the approval rating of the president. Simply speaking, if the presidents approval rating is low, congresses approval rating has always been equal or lower.

The true problem is that Democrats tried to force through so many bills with so many additions to those bills. If they had taken each item separately, they would have been able to get more bills passed. However, it does not help that the Republicans have blocked everything that the Democrats have proposed, regardless of what the bill entails. I mean, Republicans blocking a healthcare bill that would have helped aid a great many children who are in poverty. What objection could the Republicans have to that other than they just blocked it because it would make the Democrats look bad for not being able to pass anything during this session.

Congress is the biggest laugh, Pelosi is most likely flying her family all over in the jet she asked us to pay for, she is worthless and out tax dollars go for this, congress is never there and when they are the dems don't want any partisan relationship with the rep, like we ned this , they are all a bunch of money hungry only worthless politicians and think they should be gotten rid of. They will start right back up again with Gonzales, that's old. they need to concentrate on security, illegal aliens, all they like to do is attack the republicans,and Bush, they had better try acting like adults, blooming bunsh of idiots highly overpaid.

Kenisthaman2005, I just read the 16th Amendment and from the I read it, It says Congress does have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes. What book did you read it from???

Wouldn't it be great to be able to vote for the BEST person for the PRESIDENT instead of the LEAST WORST?
