The Problem: 90%+ Re-Election Rates:

No wonder Congress ignores the voters.

A Polling Station poll asked:
President Bush wants amnesty for illegal aliens. Do you agree with the President?
Persons polled: 9,174
Margin of Error: +/- 1.0%
________ Yes ______ No _______ Undecided
Dem ____ 27.6% ____ 60.1% ____ 12.3%
Ind ____ 16.5% ____ 72.5% ____ 11.0%
Rep ____ 10.9% ____ 81.3% ____ 7.8%
<u>Overall Percentages:</u>
18.4% believe amnesty is a good idea.
71.2% do not believe amnesty is a good idea.
10.4% were undecided.

Seems pretty clear, eh?
But not to politicians.
But, why should it, if too many voters keep rewarding irresponsilbe politicians by repeatedly re-electing them? The politicians are only half the problem. The other half is the voters that keep rewarding those politicians by repeatedly re-electing the irresponsible politicians; by voters that blindly pull the party-lever (e.g. blindly voting straight ticket); blindly re-electing irresponsible incumbents merely because they are in THEIR party; empowering and rewarding politicians to be irresponsible, arrogant, greedy, and corrupt; empowering politicians to pit American citizens and illegal aliens against each other.

Who can name 10, 20, 50, 100, or even 268 (half of 535) in Congress that are responsible and accountable?
Unless you can name at least 268, what does that mean?
It means Do-Nothing Congress is irresponsible (as a whole).
If not even half of Congress is responsible and accountable, then why do we keep re-electing 90% of them?

Voters can yell at, scream at, FAX, write, and call THEIR politicians all they want, but if too many voters keep rewarding THEIR politicians by repeatedly re-electing them, then why should politicians pay any attention to them and the majority of voters? Afterall, politicians are merely doing what most voters are reward the politicians to do; reinforcing their irresponsible behavior; even increasing their irresponsible behavior.

Learn about YOUR politicians.
Stop Repeat Offenders.
Don't Re-Elect Them.
Stop Blindly Pulling the Party-Lever (i.e. voting straight-ticket).
Stop Wallowing in the Petty, Distracting, Partisan Warfare.
Stop Re-warding Bad Politicians by Repeated Re-Electing Them.

That is the one simple, peaceful, no-brainer, common-sense, responsible thing that voters were supposed to be doing all along.

Neither Illegal immigration, nor any other serious issues facing the nation will ever be addressed (in time), as long as too many voters keep rewarding irresponsible incumbent politicians by repeatedly re-electing them.[/url][/b]
