Which Candidate Will Get Your Vote?

No, I don't mean for President.

Quick, name the candidates in your state running for Congress.
Do you know?
Do you care?

Beeep! Time's up.

But you know the names of the Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates don't you?

Since Congress is the only body in the Federal government that can raise or lower taxes, spend money, regulate or de-regulate business, healthcare, etc., declare war (as well as fund war) and make laws, you'd THINK that people would actually pay attention to the 435 House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats that are up for grabs in about six weeks.

That's right. EVERY Representative us up for re-election or replacement.
Over 1/3rd of the Senate is up for re-election or replacement.

That mean that we have the chance to replace 88.9% of Congress in six weeks.

And most of us have NO clue as to who is running. Instead, there's a mad rush to buy eye glasses like Sarah Palin's. (Sales have shot from 2,200 a month to over 9,000 a month since McCain chose her as her running mate.) Instead we quibble over who has more or less experience. Instead, we listen to candidates from opposite sides of the spectrum promise us change.

Listen up folks, we can create more change in six weeks then either candidate could do in eight years.

No wonder we seem to get the government that we deserve. But as Will Rogers said "Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."
