Would you support an effort to clean house in Congress, no incumbant elected?

Since Congress is held in such low esteem, deservedly so. As evidenced almost daily by their lack of common sense, disregard for the will of the people that elected them, and catering to their own agendas rather than what is right for the nation. Leadership is elusive in Congress as evidenced by the pitiful performance of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Congress just does not get it. We could do no worse with a clean house.

    Why wait for another election cycle? Draw up a petition to remove them from office, get the required number of signatures from residence 18 yrs & older, Pay the fee. Get it on the next election cycle or if your lucky a special election. You asking for a recall so it does,t matter if they were up for election.

    Nobody ever mentions the people that are on all the committees and sub committees that give information to the congress. I think all those people should be cleaned out as well. Its all about Money and Power, and all Politicians have their hand out in one way or another. Its all the behind the scene stuff that is going on that is killing our country. Just ask any Politician a question, and they will tell you whatever you want to hear.

    Yes - but I'll up the ante.

    No former political official may run for president, the house, or senate. No family member by blood or marriage (even after divorce or death) may hold an elected or appointed office ever held by a relative. No presidential cabinet/key appointee may have served in any similar capcity during another administration.

    All cabinet/key appointees are inelgible for office after the president's first term.

    Yes. It's too bad when all the leftists on the Supreme Court struck down the Arkansas Constitutional Amendment banning term limits. Even though the majority of the population wanted term limits the leftist elite overruled it. I distaste liberals.

    For the most part, yes, I would support no incumbent elected. I can't think of anyone off hand on Capitol Hill that deserves to be there.

    You bet, it would be worth losing the few good ones in office to get rid of all of the bad ones - on both sides of the aisle.

    I would.

    We would probably loose a couple of good people in the process, but it would be worth it.

    IF YOU CAN GUARANTEE THE REPLACEMENTS WOULD DOT THE JOB.

    Vote non-incumbent at every chance at this point.

    I would. Party loyalists support people who do NOT support them nor care about their opinions. Even though WE pay their salaries.
