And the sad part is that most of them will be reelected.

Half of them run on (and get elected) "vote for me and I will oppose Obama."

Then we complain about why nothing gets done.

Reps and senators don't give a hoot about national polls. All they care about is what their constituents think.

Not even close. Obama is at 41% approval right now. When Bush left office he was at 22%.

And sadly, that's it in a nutshell.

Politics for these idiots is all local. Sure, 99% of the US population knows that Nancy Pelosi is a mentally-impaired lying fool, but the only people that matter -- those in her district -- will likely re-elect her.

Would the problem go away if every incumbent got voted out every election? Maybe.....but probably not.
