Leon, the man I blame most for all our troubles was just re-elected to the Senate in 2010. That would be Harry Reid and we are stuck with him for another 5 years. Our only real hope is to put him in the minority by getting rid of his majority, the Dems. He managed to screw things up quite a bit when he was the Minority Floor Leader but has really done a job since then.
We save our nation only by making sure that Obama doesn't return.
Do you know any bad Congressmen coming up for re-election?

Here is a list of all the Senators who will have to stand for re-election next year. I won't say that all of them are bad but plenty from both parties are there. Especially the RINOs and DINOs need to go.
My god do we really need another OWS thread? They are getting real old.
You are missing the entire point as usual as are most Americans. You don't clean an addict by sending him to detox with a bag full of needles and heroin. If you find yourself ass deep in alligators the first thing you do is drain the swamp. We have to get big money i.e. banks out of government. They have completely bought and paid for the US politicians. Our government is like a big group of junkies or alligators. We get the banks straightened out and we can clean up government. But we have to shut off the spicket of money, collusion, and revolving door politics. WallStreet is the first plae to start. Our politicians are like children.......we can yell at them all we want.......but sometimes you have to take away their toys in order for them to play nice.
Did I put it in simple enough terms for you? LMAO!
You can't just "drain the swamp".
You'd have the Environmental Polluters Act all over you.

We have a mechanism in place for ejecting politicians that we feel aren't doing their job. It's called "the election process."
Please define for us what mechanism you intend to use to "shut off the spicket[sic] of money, collusion, and revolving door politics" that "starts" with Wall Street.
As I see it, the tools are already there to deal with this problem. Government makes the laws, right? If you think that the people representing you are corrupt, throw them out and replace them with people that aren't. It takes two to tango - "evil corporations" can't "own" the government if the people that make up that government don't allow it.
The OWS crowd have some legitimate gripes (and a whole lot of illegitimate ones), but their anger is misdirected. They should be in front of the White House and the Capitol building, not on an island in New York.
