This is a GIANT WAKE UP CALL for every single American Citizen in this country. We all, as a duty to our nation, our children and grand children, MUST vote each and every single member of congress and the President OUT OF OFFICE. Doesn't matter if you are a Dem, GOP, TP, Independent...whatever....YOU ARE ALL FIRED. We the people MUST TAKE ACTION in order to save this great nation of ours.

VOTE ALL THE Mutha effers out of office....each and every single one of them!

It is our duty, as fellow Americans, and citizens of the United States of America, to unelect, or otherwise vote out of office, every single incumbent, across all party lines, in 2012 ..

And be stuck with all amateurs who are hyped up on idealism? No thanks. I think it's time to keep the pros on the field.

While indeed tempting, this approach is doomed to fail. What good is voting for other people to do the things we have all failed for decades to do ourselves? It's much better to do things ourselves than to hire someone and tell them "Do what we tell you". All our eyes should be on the government, we should be there in every meeting, in every officeholder's face. Hating it, like so many conservatives do, is exactly what keeps us from achieving that goal. If you love your country, you will love your government and that love will create what YOU want, not what others want while we're busy being p*ssed off.

No thanks, those pros you speak of (both Dems and Reps) put us in the mess we are in. I want a leader who will tell us what we need to hear, not a professional politician who tells us what we want to hear.

Me too! It is even better if the amateur is not a lawyer either.

Wish people would wake up and vote out 99% of the Congress in both parties' primaries and keep doing it until the pols' get the idea that we are their boss, not the other way around
