Write, call, e-mail and snail mail all your representatives and Senators.  Keep doing it.  Don't stop.  When they are at home in your state, do it again and again.  They will answer you or some of their help will answer.  Just voice your opinion and then vote.

Where is all that "political capital" he claimed to of had? Support from the left? Please, he's burned, actually torched any bridge from that side of the aisle. He better worry about his base. There is nothing conservative about this administration. This guy loves to spend, borrow and spend more (mostly on industries and cronies that have helped his political career along). Just look at the national deficit! Is there no end to this groups madness and incompetence? Does anyone honestly think he has one bit of concern (other than their vote) for the common American citizen? He did say "Some call you the have & have mores... but, I call you may base". He sure wasn't referring to the person that punches a time clock!

Revoultion is long over due in this country, but the only way to succeed in one is for it to be peacful and through the ballot box. We have got to do away with the twoparty system. The Dems are too liberal and the Repubs are too conservative.

If the entire US congress can't get to the bottom of this, I don't know what we can do.  They are having hearings right now to try to find out what to do about this horrible mess.  Meanwhile millions of taxpayer dollars are going down the drain.\n\nCall you congress person and demand that something be done!\n\nThat's what I did.

You're right, of course.  The problem here re the middle class is that Republicans & Democrats alike, have sold the middle class out.  The result is this: someday very soon, there will be only 2 classes of people--the very rich and the very poor.  There can never be a redistribution of wealth.  Why?  (I know you don't want to hear the rhetoric about Rep vs Dem, but it is there, all the same.  A Rep gets in office and gives the rich even more money by giving the rich more tax breaks.  The Dem get in office and attempt to take care of the poor (the humane thing to do).  How?  By raising taxes to ALL Americans.  Then the Rep get back in office and undo everything the Dem did.  The vicious circle that never changes and is always the same.  Now with the illegals here getting amnesty & all the benefits meant for Americans, the problem intensifies.  Never ending, never changing.  Having the illegals here actually drives down the wages of middle American and very soon, what was middle-class Americans will be a poorer class of middle Americans until there is no middle America.  How about 'hoping' there will be an independent that comes along and puts a stop to the insanity?  No more outsourcing of jobs would be a good place to start, don't you think?  And then maybe doing something about the amnesty issue.

Its been time, but good luck with that. You will never convince the American people that to vote for anybody else but a repuglican or a democrat. You have to many people like me that thinks that it is a wasted vote.

No. I think we need a party for the middle class.  The parties stay in power because the things that are important to the middle class are supported some by one party and some by another.  Our vote depends on which of those elements is most important to us on election day.  We need a party that is for the middle class, at least solidly, on most issues.  That means populist, not globalist.

It has been time for a thrid party for a long time.  I get tired of listening to two things, 1 the same song and dance from both the Democrats and the Republicans, 2 that you are throwing your vote away if you vote for a thrid party .  Look the middle class is slowing becoming the lower class.  Our government ( both dem and rep) have done nothing to help the middle class.  And yet we make up the largest voting population.  It is time that we stand up for us.  Stand up for our jobs, for our lives, our kids lifes.  If we don't  it will never change.  And soon we will all be living pay check to pay check.  We need a third party with the person running to be one of us.  Not a rich spoiled politition  (sp) who has never seen a tough day in their lives.

Those are two reasons why republicans will lose. They don't care at all about the middle class, and they can't even win any wars.

They don't "get" anything.  And I disagree with the "we have to vote" to change things.  Please.  Let me see here...should I vote for crook #1 or crook #2?  Eh..if you all want to vote them in go ahead.  I was very young when the Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick thing went on..10 to be exact; and even at that age I could never understand how it was possible that the American public could continue to vote him back into office.  So my position as a 10yr old hasn't changed at all:  that being, EVERYONE should quit voting AT ALL and let the government know that WE, the people are the ones referred to in the Constitution and they damn well better start paying attention to that.\n\nSo now that that is clear...the immigration thing.  Yes they understand and it doesn't matter.  It doesn't matter because the laws that are already in place AT THIS POINT IN TIME are not even recognized or enforced and all they are trying to do is justify the fact that they are allowing immigrants to break THEIR laws on a daily basis just because is financially convenient.  We have a Constitution and it sure would be nice if we started using it again someday. Until then, I would encourage everyone NOT to vote...for anyone or anything.

As I said in a earlier question. The government of the people, for the people, and by the people needs to be taken back by the people. Get all the Lawyers out of the picture, Vote a retired farmer, carpenter, mechanic, construction worker, factory worker into office. Anyone who makes over a Hundred thousand shouldn't even be allowed to run. Politician should be Latin for " A barrel of fishhooks" There all that crooked and any one of them will stick you. Democrats& Republicans are like a old country outhouse, same toilet different hole and still full of sh--. I hope for all that it wont be much longer that the people realise they can stand united again and say enough is enough we cant stand no more. It is time for a change.

Don't be either.  Be an individual.  As I've said before and received the best answer on, don't choose either.  They are both corrupt ideologies for the rich and the priveleged.  Neither of them give a damn about you after you vote for them.

Mister this is the most sensible question I have found here in quite a while, you are a true American, and what you propose is what should have bee en done years ago , we don't have statesmen any more just crooked greedy politicians who have sold out the American people and our country by selling their votes and not caring what happens to our country, please consider the tax payer paying for their campaign , and keep the lobbyist big interest etc from controlling who runs for office and who wins , the people should be the ones who elect our officials

I love your questions.  The liberals are crying because they lost, twice.  They have to say Bush cheated, Bush lied, Bush stole the vote!  They sound like my kids when they were younger fighting over who won a board game. Just like i told my kids, its called "being a poor loser".

The truth is there is no "one man one vote," and there hasn't been since the beginning. It's just more obvious now, that our government is really about "one dollar one vote." Such is the way of a republic. So save up your money and become one of the haves.. that's the only way to win. Our government has no power. It's a front.
