I once heard insanity described as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Could someone please explain to me why voters send the same people to Congress year after year after year and expect different results?
I love reading the “We’re as mad as h___, and we’re not going to take it anymore” letters. Unless you can afford to own a congressperson, your only coin of the realm is your vote. If you’ve voted for the same elected official for more than two terms, you are part of the problem.

Much like expecting a person or enterprise that is historically bad with money and continuing to loan them money. The generation after generation of welfare mongers that continue in the same cycle making excuses all the way. This is how the clowns in government like it. Let's keep people dependent, guys like Joe Biden and Barney Frank know what is best for us.

I never vote for the incumbent, so don't look at me, lady.

A lot of it is fear of change. A candidate will talk of change, but people fear it and run for safety. At some point, we must fear a failure to change.
There are many candiates out there that talk of real change, smaller govt, lower taxes, and a return to Constitutionality. And that is the real problem. We think we have a Constitutional govt. WE DONT. We dont have any good faith adminstration of it. We have lost our checks and balances due to our own political games.
Only in 2009 America could running on a platform of returning to the Constitution could it be devestating to your campaign. People dont want that. THey want the political games. You have them.
