COUNTRY: How can Congress go on like this?

I am troubled about the current and future condition of this country. One of my major concerns, among many, is the attitude and intelligence of the electorate as a whole. We now have a Congress with a 9 percent approval rating, but will probably reelect most of those mentally deficient members. There is an old saying "as you have sown so shall you reap" (Marcus T. Cicero about 40BC). It appears we are now reaping that which the electorate has sown.

I am amazed about how many people I speak to who are totally unaware of the details of our problems with energy, the national debit, trade imbalance, value of the dollar, immigration and education.

We have had Democratic Congress for going on four years and its accomplishments are for all practical purposes nonexistent. They all know about the illegal immigrant problem but do nothing. Why do we not a have a workable, enforceable guest worker program that would allow sufficient migrant workers needed to meet the needs of agriculture without amnesty for those here illegally?

Do I need to mention the lack of intelligence on the oil problem?

How can their constituents keep re-electing the likes Congresswoman Pelosi and Senator Reed? They are certainly not leaders.

We the voters must get off our butts and research our candidates so as to put in Congress people with integrity and common sense. It is tough to do but absolutely necessary if we are to survive as the number one nation in the world.

Don't forget McCain after how many years in the government saying he doesn't understand the economy

STOP US IN OUR TRACKS -

And the illegals are making the DEM. and REP. money or they would be gone by now. Do you think it has to do with stock? High dividends for some

If the government wanted us informed, they would do so. The point is, they don't. It doesn't serve their purpose in controlling us. Radio, TV, print media all spit out whatever shores up the government's track is.

I lived abroad for 12 years. One can read more insightful news about America in print media published outside the US. News reporting about the US, even domestic policy, is better reported in the London Financial Times than any American domestic newspaper.

The US gov/ big business don't want us to know what is going on in our own country-it doesn't serve THEIR needs.

Thanks, Zeezil.

I have had comments in here take up to 24 hours, and other times, it's up real quick. Just depends on how fast they get to them to approve them. Keep checking. They'll be there sooner or later. Thanks everyone, for posting.
