When voting for your Congressman...?

I like my Congressman - he's the ONLY incumbent I did vote for. He has represented my area well, and I was glad he will continue to do so.

I don't listen to the mud-slinging, smearing and name calling - conduct like that will get me to vote for the one who is not (or less) engaged in it.

I am NOT interested in sound bites, I do my own research and vote on who best represents my values. Sometimes I just don't vote for a position at all - don't like any of them. I value experience, but I need to feel represented and sometimes we NEED to flush the toilet in Wash. and get rid of the "problems" we might have growing there.....

Tried to do that with one of our Senators that is a bobble head- didn't work, darn, stuck with him again. He is going to be a problem for our new president and I sure wish we had "flushed him out", but I don't thing he has any spine so maybe he won't do too much harm, either.

Age really doesn't matter to me, where there head and heart is at does. I think the older a person gets, the less likely they are to compromise and I don't like that at all, I like new, younger passionate people as long as they really have an eye for the future and not just in love with power.

This year, my approach was simple. If they were an incumbent, I voted against them. I didn't care which party they represented.

The Obama voters cried change, and when they voted for president, they made sure they got change. However, they ignored the change that NEEDED to be made - in Congress. They voted in all their incumbents. I guess they didn't want change so much, did they?

Voting record and reputation. Jim Bunning, Mitch McConnel are both idiots. Nor can I name one thing that Geoff Davis has done.

And I voted for none of them.

this last time, i voted against all my incumbents, because they all voted FOR the sell-out package. that was enough for me.
