Congresses approval rating is self evident of how well they are doing in the eyes of the people. I think they are at an all time low. To Congress I ask you resign and become televangelist or something fitting to your paper mache' spines. You do not hearken to the voice of the people who put you in office. The day is coming when when we will no longer tolerate this tripe being passed off as service to the people and national interest of America. You gutter snipes sicken me by blaming each other for not being able to supposedly do your jobs. You make corporate attorney's look like alter boys. Our system is broken! We need refromation in the Congress and Senate to limit terms on these bums that make a career out of insanity. Pay raises? For what? I would rather see Al Capone or the likes running this joint. At least he would get the job done. Retirement? Are you friggin kiddin me? Not a penny to your kind. Not by my tax dollars. Only a handful of you deserve the title "The honorable..." The rest of you are a disgrace and I am ashamed that somehow someway you managed to become Congressmen and Senators. The cream does not rise to the top in America anymore. Pelosi and Frankenstein are proof of that along with Reid and that drunken bum from Mass who keeps holding his office.

Since congress is elected to office by the people, it is the people who must ultimatly accept responsibility for the state of congress.

Congress is like the weather, everyone complains but no one does anything about it. Clearly congress is doing just fine if the incumbents have a 90%+ chance of being reelected. By reelecting the same congress members we are sending the clearest signal we possibly can -- everything is OK with us.

Wanna know what is wrong with Congress?

First look in the mirror
Second look outside your house.

That is what is wrong with congress. The citizens continue to reelect the wrong people to office and think they can make it better by complaining about it.

We do not need a constitutional amendment limiting terms for Congress. The citizens have that power already. It is called a ballot. We just choose not to use it.

"Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings." --Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

The people are complacent. Yes, there should be term limits. I cannot vote outside of my district. The problem is the choices that are available, which is crap 9 out of 10 times. So people do not even bother to vote, so one of the bilge rats will get in. Until the Constitutional party gains momentum I will complain about the system, because it is broken. Gridlock is a perfect example of this. A Congressional seat should not be filled because of lack of voters. Each state and every citizen should be required to vote. I consider it a duty to this country as well as a right. We get conjured u[p for jury duty, then i think citizens need too vote. Another consideration would be to reject a candidate fully. Meaning if I do not like my parties rep. what can I do? Not vote for them, so then by sheer logic the vote really goes for the other guy. Nonesense! A ballot rejection option should be available for each candidate. Then if a majority vote of rejection come up, that seat remains open until a fitting candidate is accepted by the people, rather than the crap that rises to the top of our political chain as it stands. A man or woman who wants to seek public office has to be a millionaire by todays standards, again a huge flaw in the requirements for public service. Think what you wish, this is not a problem of the people, but is a disfunctional and abused system that Americans are lulled into thinking is the only way. Nonesense! There is always a better way and this Country needs it as never before.

The Recall Process should be made a bit easier to do, or encouraged more often.
